To find your device, sign in to iCloud.com/find. Or use the Find My app on another Apple device that you own.

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch doesn't appear in the list of devices, Find My hasn't been turned on. But you can still protect your account if Find My hasn't been turned on.

 

Mark as Lost

When you mark your device as lost, it will be remotely locked with a passcode, keeping your information secure. This will also disable Apple Pay on the missing device. And you can display a custom message with your contact information on the missing device.

Report your missing device to local law enforcement

Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device.

File a Theft and Loss claim

If your missing iPhone is covered by AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, file a claim for an iPhone replacement.

Remotely erase your device

If you erase a device that had iOS 15, iPadOS 15 or later installed, you can still use Find My to locate the device or play a sound on it. Otherwise, you won't be able to locate the device or play a sound after you've erased it.

If you have AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, do not erase your iPhone until your claim has been approved.

Erase your device.

 

Contact your wireless service provider

If the missing device is an iPhone or iPad with mobile data, report your missing device to your wireless service provider. Ask the service provider to disable your account to prevent calls, texts and data use. And if your device is covered under your wireless service provider plan, file a claim.
