This is a user to user only forum. There is nothing we can do to help with a stolen iPhone. And Apple does NOT get involved in lost or stolen devices.


This link will help you learn how to try to find a stolen device, but Find My MUST have been enabled before the phone was stolen --> Find your lost iPhone or iPad with Find My - Apple Support


Be advised that you may receive what appears to be a message from Apple saying the phone has been found and to provide the login credentials. This is a SCAM. Apple NEVER sends such messages, but thieves to and if you respond and give them what they need, they can then wipe the phone and use it.


The sad reality is most stolen phones are never recovered. So one of the first things you need to do is notify the authorities AND contact your carrier to request they blacklist the phone.
