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

No, you CANNOT see significant locations, except for the 2 most recent. I have 100 significant locations, and I can only see HOME and the last place I spent more than 15 minutes; a significant location is one where you have been for more than a few minutes.

I will add that Apple takes personal security very seriously. If you don’t believe that then you should not have an iPhone or any other Apple product.

I’m facing the same issue on an iPhone 14. Two-factor auth is on, relevant location services as well as Find my… service. Turns out I would have to switch on FaceId (which I never did as it is a security risk). Apple wants me to weaken the safety of my iPhone before allowing me to strengthen it again with the stolen device protection… that feature was my only reason to update to iOS 17, and of course now I can’t go back any more…

Yes, and I still don't see it. Every time I search online I get a different, non-working answer. One gave me "Location >> Location services" which doesn't exist anywhere on my iPhone 15 with the latest iOS.

I have a 2nd generation Apple iPhone SE. I have given up trying to use fingerprint ID. After a couple successful tries it no longer recognizes my finger. Usually within a day or two.

Would I be locking MYSELF out of my phone if I were to activate SDP and the fingerprint recognition fails to recognize me?

That depends. If you have Significant Locations enabled you can bypass SDP when you are in a Significant Location. But that’s taking a chance.

There are alternate ways to protect your phone that work similarly to SDP, without actually turning it on. See this user tip→Secure your iPhone against passcode hijac… - Apple Community. Stage 2 in that tip is the only one that would be useful to you.

Do others with SEs have issues with Touch ID stopping working?

I’ve tried setting it up multiple times and all I have to do is do some yard work and my fingers are no longer recognized.

i can’t take the chance that I’d get locked out of my own phone. I also change locations for blocks of time, and unless I can force the phone to recognize a location after months of being away from it, that could also complicate getting into my phone.

Then look at Stage 2, especially as you don’t use ouch ID. In general touch ID works well, but your fingers have to be clean and unabraded. You should consider a device with Face ID for your next phone.

I have an iPhone 11. I am attempting to set up for the new security feature Stolen Phone. I have face id, passcode for two factor and have turned on location services. However when I click on face id and passcode and then enter my passcode the Stolen Phone option does not come up per the instructions.

I’m still trying to understand how Stolen Device Protection works. It needs to be turned on prior but if I want to make a purchase do I have to turn it off again?

My understanding is that it would prevent a would be thief from accessing phone and making unwanted purchases

Great user tip! Thanks for pointing it out.

LD150 did a great job with that tip. There’s a long discussion of it in the WC.

I'll have to check it out. I'm a bit behind.
