Hey tigosh,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. From the following guide in the section "Mark a device as lost" we found: Mark a device as lost in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support


When the device has been marked as lost, you see Activated below the Mark As Lost section. If the device isn’t connected to a network when you mark it as lost, you see Pending until the device goes online again.


So if your iPhone comes online again, lost mode will then activate.


We hope this helps.


Take care!
