I need help with tracking my stolen ipad thats not connected to Find my app.

I have an ipad 10 generation that was stolen but cannot locate it because it's not connected to my find my app. Is there a way that apple could locate it from the serial number and send a message to it?


iPhone 13, iOS 17

Hello~ No…if you didn’t have Find My activated you have a problem.


If your iPhone or iPad is lost or stolen - Apple Support*


*If Find My wasn't turned on for your device before it was lost or stolen, it won't appear at iCloud.com/find or in the Find My app and you can't mark it as lost or remotely erase it. To protect your personal information, you should sign in to appleid.apple.com and change your Apple ID password right away.
