Lost my iPhone, Can I log in with my appleID into a new one without loosing track on lost one?

Hi guys,

I've lost my iPhone and I've already activated the lost mode and add the message and contact info.

it passed already 1 week and nothing so far.

I've bought already a new one, and I'm about to start with it. however when I was asked to log in with my iCloud account, I start thinking.

what will happen with my lost iPhone? Will I be able to keep tracking it or not? because if I log into the new iphone I guess I'll see only the new iphone.


does anybody know if I can securely log in in my new iPhone with my appleID without loosing the track on my lost iPhone?


thanks for sharing

kind regards

You can log into your new iPhone, You can always go back to www.iCloud.com to check to see if anything has happened to your old phone and you will get an email alert saying something has happened with your old phone, if someone unlocks it or turns off the sound or anything along the lines of that, sent to your primary iCloud email. I would suggest putting it in 'lost mode' also, rendering it useless to any thief unless they have your appleID info.


Hope it turns up for you, theres nothing worse then loosing your phone 😝


Hope this was helpful 🙂
