Sorry, as users.....just like you....we have no way to track your phone, and Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen phones.


If the battery has run down, or the phone does not have a connection to the Internet where it is currently located, then the phone cannot appear on the Find My map.


Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do about this other than check back a few times each day to see the status of the phone might have changed.

We are NOT Apple on this user to user only forum. But Apple doesn't help or get involved in lost or stolen devices, so no, we cannot, nor can Apple help you.


The reality is if the phone is not powered on or connected to a network, the ONLY way to find it is the old fashioned trace your steps, look for it with your eyes way.


The related article link at the top of this page, which brought you here has all the suggestions you can follow if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
