iPhone 12 lock screen message

I just dumped my Android and bought an iPhone 12. On the Android's lock screen I had a scrolling message that said "If found, please call ...". I can't find a similar capability on the 12. Has anyone?

The capability is there on the iPhone. It is setup and works a little different from Android based phones. You would set the "If Found Message" if the iPhone has been lost and placed in Lost Mode by logging in to your Apple ID from another device, Once the iPhone is placed in Lost Mode then you can display your lost message. Read below for future reference if you need it.

Mark your device as lost or turn on Lost Mode for your item

  1. Open the Find My app and choose the Devices tab or the Items tab.
  2. Select your missing device or item.
  3. Scroll down to Mark As Lost or Lost Mode and select Activate or Enable.
  4. Follow the onscreen steps if you want your contact information to display on your missing device or item, or if you want to enter a custom message asking the finder of your missing device to contact you.
  5. Select Activate.
