Hello,
I lost my Iphone last March in the Philippines. I activated “lost device” option on my “Find my” application. Today I received a notification saying device has been found, but the time that I had checked it on my “Find my” the phone was erased from my devices. I would like to know how it happened?
iPhone 13, iOS 17
Did you by any chance enter the user credentials when you received the notification? If you did, they notification was a scam from the thief and giving them the user credentials gave them exactly what they needed to remove the device and set it up for themselves.
