If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen


If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only when it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying numbers. Neither Apple nor anyone else can find your device. You cannot recover your loss unless you ensure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.


If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:


  1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

  2. ***

  3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets

  4. What-To-Do-When-Iphone-Is-Stolen

  6. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen

  7. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone

It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
