Can i track my lost iPhone using it's IMEI or Serial numbers?

I'm using an iPhone 9 but I lost my iPhone not sure where I lost it; I have 2 iPhones 8 & 9 with different email and Apple password registration for the iPhone 9 that I lost but I can recall the email and Apple ID. I tried to call the number but not reach. Maybe the number and hack my password to access the phone. The only way to track my iPhone 9 location is by Using the IMEI number or Serial Number. Pls, advise me?

iPhone model "9" doesn't exist. After model 8 or 8+, Apple released model "X".

That said, you can't track a lost iPhone using IMEI or Serial number. They can only be used to report the loss to your carrier (IMEI) and/or to the police station (SERIAL).


These are the only steps you can perform in such a situation:--> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen,

and/or:--> Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item,

and/or:--> If Find My is offline or not working

and/or:--> If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device


Regards and best of luck.
