Lost iPad in plane
I left my iPad in the plane. It does not have the find my, enabled and is in airplane mode. What should I do to find or protect my data?
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours or has no network connection - the last known location will not be available and all opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.
