iOS 17.3 installed but no Stolen Device Protection

I installed iOS 17.3 but I can't find a setting labeled "Stolen Device Protection." The following are the settings I find under "Face ID & Attention." One thing that is somewhat unique about my settings is that I have Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions -> Account Changes set to Don't Allow. Did this setting suppress the new "Stolen Device Protection" functionality?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17

Same here: iPad 9th gen, iOS 17.3, Touch ID activated for everything, Screen Time: no restrictions, but no Stolen Device Protection available...

Any help very appreciated!


Thanks!

I think I have found why the new option Stolen Device Protection option doesn’t show up for some .

Go to ..Screen Time -Content and Privacy Restrictions ..scroll down to Pascode Changes ..and have this option set to Allow (it was Don’t Allow for me before ) otherwise it will not show up Stolen Device Protection

That change worked for me ,hope it helps .

Thanks! I did so and was able to turn on Stolen Device Protection. I then went back to Screen Time >Content and Privacy Restrictions, and returned Passcode Changes to Don't Allow. Obviously I can no longer see Face ID and Passcode in Settings, which I expected, but I assume Stolen Device Protection is still activated. Am I correct in assuming this?
