Hi. I recently was robbed of my iPhone XR in Vietnam. I activated lost mode. Since the phone was offline I guess the activation was pending. The phone did get switched on for a while, and the location updated once. Then gearing the data, I erased the phone. Now it is not showing on find my phone. I’m not sure I did the activation lock or if it got completed. Can I use the IMEI and serial number of phone and lock the phone now or can Apple help me do that. Thanks.

No, now that you have erased the phone you will no longer be able to see it. You must have had Find My iPhone activated or you would never have been able to see it. Report it to the police and your cell service provider and you have done all you can.

Thanks very much Deggie and Lawrence. My only worry is the data.... as long as that is erased I’m ok. I did not remove it from Apple account, but since I used erase feature , the phone is not visible to me. I did the erase only because when I was logging into Apple last evening it kept saying wrong password. So I had to use forgot pw option and change the password. This got me thinking... could somebody have hacked and changed the pw. Anyway hope for the best.
As long as you do not remove it from your account no one will be able to use it. And don’t fall for any scam emails or texts saying it has been found.
