Can Random People see FindMy IPhone Alerts?

I lost my IPhone by a neighbors house. They found it and contacted my mothers phone via contacts to advise they found my phone. When I went to my neighbor’s house they advised 3 other people tried to claim. My family advised it wasn’t one of them so can strangers see missing IPhone Alerts?

The iPhone does not send out any missing alerts when it is lost. Curious how the person who found your phone was able to view your mother's contact info.


  • Was a passcode not set up on the device?
  • Did you mark it as lost using Find My?
