I don’t see Stolen Device Protection with Multifactor, and FindMy on my SE.

It works with Face ID on iPhones that have Face ID, and Touch ID on phones that have Touch ID.

FIRST: You must update to iOS 17.3. Then:

From→About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support:

To turn on Stolen Device Protection you must use two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and set up or enable the following on your iPhone: a device passcode; Face ID or Touch ID; Find My; and Significant Locations* (Location Services). 

Do you meet all of the above requirements?

Ok, I think I have it figured out! I never added a fingerprint to access my phone, I only had a passcode. When I added the fingerprint and activated that feature, the Stolen Device Protection appeared! So whoever is not finding the SDP, go to settings, select Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, make sure you have the fingerprint option selected. Once you do that, Stolen Device Protection appears. Select Turn On Protection.

Great troubleshooting.

Hello~ I don’t know why that was even suggested. You must meet all the requirements here to enable Stolen Device Protection…

I was just coming back to this thread to say that I'd seen a post by someone with an SE who was using it. Glad to see you got it figured out.

I figured out the issue. Although I did not see a notification that I needed to dowload the most recent system update (because I have it set to auto update), I checked that the update was still not on my phone. Once I did that, I was able to see the SDP option.

What model number of SE?

Stolen Device Protection is available with iOS 17.3 and must be turned on before the device is lost or stolen.

Possibly a dumb question, but are you swiping down far enough?

It’s nowhere near the bottom of the page. It is just above Turn Passcode Off and a little below Add other apps.

Oh geez - I hadn’t actually installed that update. It’s there now 🙄
