did not turn on Find My

My phone (2nd hand) got stolen within 48 hours of me buying it. I did not turn "Find my" on but i did sign in with my icloud. Is there any way to override the system to turn "find my" on remotely? or is there another way to track the phone? The model is iPhone 13 Pro Max and iOS was updated to 16.1.


It's been 4 days since it was stolen. I just bought another 2nd hand iPhone. Would be awesome if i can still get the other phone back though!

Sorry, see the information in If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device - Apple Support including the following:


If your missing device doesn't appear in the Find My app or at iCloud.com/find, you didn't turn on Find My. There's no other Apple service that can find, track, or flag your device for you. But there are steps that you can take to help protect your data.
