Remotely Erasing an iPhone from iCloud
Hi Apple community,
Backstory:
Recently, my iPhone 6 was stolen. I can't remember for the life of me if "find my iPhone" was activated within the settings of my iPhone 6. I don't remember ever activating any iCloud features at all since I do not use the service or back any data to it.
However, immediately after the iPhone was stolen, I went to iCloud, and I was able to set up a pending remote delete to what I believe to be was my stolen iPhone 6. When I set the pending remote delete up, my iPhone 6 was considered "offline" within the iCloud user interface. It has since been "offline" for days since the theft occurred, according to the iCloud user interface.
Question:
Does this mean that I must have had "find my iPhone" turned on within the iPhone 6 before it was stolen? Is it even possible for me to have set up a pending erase if I had that "find my iPhone" turned off? I really do not think I had it on, which is why I am here. I would hate to have a pending erase set up that will never activate.
I hope my question is clear. If I can provide any more details, I would be glad to!
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3
