App FindMy : device icon status

Do device icons in the FindMy app show their actual status ( like they are locked or not) ?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hello Bécaye,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with Find My.


This article talks about how to enable lost mode on a device: Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support


What do you see when you click on an item? Those icons should not change on the screen you are at, but if you click on one of those icons, if it's locked it should show a tiny red lock icon.


You can lock a device, and then unlock it to check the differences if you desire: Use Lost Mode in Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support


If you erase a device, you will not be able to see if on the map, or change the status later. You will have to re-set it up from a backup. Cheers.
