My phone was stolen, It has no passcode. The thief now can easily access my information. Find My isn't updating, I marked the Phone as Lost but probably they will not connect the device to internet so Lost mode will not be enable. What else can I do to prevent the thief from checking my information,photos etc.? If I remove the device from Apple ID, even if the phone is offline will that work?
iPhone 13, 16
Unfortunately, you have to assume that the bad guys now have any personal info that was on your phone including credit card info, banking info, etc.
To be safe, you would want to contact any financial institution that you might have used to alert them and possibly close your account(s).
Change your Apple ID password immediately. Hopefully, the bad guys have not done this, but they certainly could, which would lock you out of your iCloud account and other devices using the same Apple ID.
If I remove the device from Apple ID, even if the phone is offline will that work?
No, not if the phone is offline.
You probably already have this.......If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Good luck.

Sorry. That ship has sailed.
Do NOT remove the device from your Apple ID.
