how do i find out what apple ID a device is registered to? My mother borrowed my iPhone 6s when I got a new phone. She used it and registered it under an apple ID we can't guess and she cannot remember. When she got her new phone (same phone number) she created a new Apple ID. We thought we had guessed the AppleID and went through the process of getting a new password only to find out that AppleID doesn't apply to this device either. It has an activation lock on it. It's not worth much as a phone but I was hoping to use it as a webcam so I guess it's no great loss if it winds up in a landfill because we forgot something--but jeeze this has been a waste of time. Any way of resolving this? It *was* my phone once upon a time but I guess that history is not important.

Open the Settings app ➔ General ➔ Apple ID - Here click on that Apple ID at the top and you have the information of the owner of the iPhone. If you are the owner of that iPhone then this should not be a problem.

If you are not the owner of the iPhone and the iPhone is locked then there is nothing that you can do to get that information.
