How can I disable my stolen iPhone?

Hello, I was robbed and I would like to know if I could disable my old phone in a way that the thief would not be able to use it anymore.

If you had Find My enabled on the phone go to https://icloud.com/find and put it in Lost mode, then see this→If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support


You can also request that your carrier blacklist the phone’s IMEI.


Beware of a common phishing scam: You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your phone has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices.
