I lost an iPad mini 5 months ago. Someone recently charged it and accidentally screen shotted the home page. When I go to devices it’s there but find my is turned off. However after a while it gives the option to “show in find my” but when I click it nothing happens it doesn’t show . How can I locate or erase this iPad ?
iPad mini 5, iPadOS 14
Start here:
Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive or without an active network connection for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad may have been lost.
