My iPhone 14 pro has been stolen and I can’t find it on “Find My” app!

Can you find my phone with the serial numbers and other numbers on the back of the box that I just paid for two weeks ago?

no the serial number is of no use here

the police can in theory track it by getting a warrant and forcing the carriers to track it by the IMEI number

but I think they only really pull out those type of guns for missing persons cases

Assuming that you set up the Find My feature on the phone, it will show up on the Find My map if the following conditions exist:


1) The phone has good battery power....and....

2) The phone has an Internet connection where it is located


This is the only way that a lost / stolen phone can be tracked, since Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen phones.
