How can I track my stolen iPhone?

basically everything is like everyone else late at night with a knife they stole my iPhone and forced me to log out of Apple ID, but my phone is still saved on my Apple ID, have a serial number but unfortunately it is not in the locator app, and Apple ID still uses it as a trusted device for two-step authentication, is there a chance that Apple will help me track the device?

No, Apple doesn't get involved in lost or stolen goods. And since they made you sign out of your Apple ID on the phone, you won't have any way to track it. You'll never see the phone again.


Things you should do.


  1. Change your Apple Account Password.
  2. Change the passwords to social media, banking and email accounts.
  3. Contact your carrier and ask them to Blacklist the phone so it can't be activated on any networks.
