find my phone
MY phone was stolen and I am now getting a notification to my watch that my phone was located but when I look it up it says my phone is not sharing its location. Can you help?
iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Sorry, but there is nothing anyone here, nor Apple can do to help you locate your stolen phone.
Regardless, see if any of the following articles can prove helpful:
- If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
- Use Find My iPhone on iCloud.com on your computer - Apple Support
- If Find My iPhone is offline or not working - Apple Support
- Erase a device in Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support <== Note that this is NOT the same as removing the device. You definitely do NOT want to do that as that would give the thief full access to this phone.
I'm assuming that you had "Find My" enabled BEFORE the phone was stolen ... correct? If so, then those articles should help a bit. If not, then the first two things you should do are:
- Change your Apple ID password
- Contact your local law enforcement agency to report the theft. <== You should do this one regardless if you had Find My enabled or not.
