There are only two possibilities.

  1. If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to turn on and use your device.
  2. If you have shared your Apple ID credentials with the so-called "thief" then there is nothing that can be done now.

I didn’t remove the device from my account, I can still see the device is connected to my Apple ID every time I check with my other phone, the thief only find a means to remove my phone lock code and wiped all other data except my Apple ID which is still connected to the phone and switched off “find my device” to make it difficult to track the phone!


I got a message “a new sim was inserted into you I phone 12 promax “ and before I could checked the sim information he got the find my device switched off totally
