I lost my phone

I lost my iphone but apparently "Find My" isn't turned on. Is there a way to turn it on remotely?

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

Sorry, but no. To turn Find My on, the phone must be in your hands.

Lost my phone I lost this device and cannot find it. Find my iPhone isn’t enabled so I cannot even use that. I was wondering if there was a way for find my iPhone to be turned on without physically having the phone?

What happens to a lost iPhone after remote erase? What happens if I erased my iPhone after marking it as lost? I lost my iPhone 15 Pro max and I remotely erased it. Can the iPhone be accessible to the thief, can it be easily used by the thief? Can the iPhone easily be tracked using IMEI? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
