how can I remove all information. pictures, from my lost iPhone?

Hi,

I lost my XR iPhone 128GB Coral two weeks ago, and now I want to delete all info from that one and transfer my pictures to the new iPhone 11 64GB Purple that I bought recently. Also, so far I couldn't find the location of lost iPhone due to its dead battery probably. Would you please help me for these?

Regards,

Aida

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Assuming you had a passcode on your phone and had enabled Find My on it before it was lost, log in to https://icloud.com/find, chose the phone from the device list, put it in lost mode and erase it. If it is offline it will erase as soon as it is powered on and has an Internet connection. As it has a passcode no one will be able to view its contents.


There is no way to recover data from a lost phone, you will have to recover it from iCloud if you synced it to iCloud or by restoring a recent backup of the phone to another iOS device.
