If Find My was enabled before the phone was lost log in to https://icloud.com/find. That is the ONLY way you can track a lost iOS device. You cannot track it with the serial number, IMEI, or any other way.

My iphone is lost can you plss help me ti find using serial number


As IdrisSeabright correctly states, nope.


Tracking by serial number would be a complete catastrophe, because domestic abusers, thieves, stalkers, and much worse would all be using that (hypothetical) tracking mechanism to track their prey; to track us.


If Find My is somehow not enabled, then there is no means for you to track your iPhone.


Local police or your carrier might be able to provide some assistance, depending on what happened here.
