iPhones are lost and stolen every day, but luckily Apple has robust tools built into iOS that will keep your data safe and your device unusable if it’s misplaced or snatched by a thief.
With Find My iPhone, you can locate lost devices, disable them, and even fully erase them, but unless you’ve been in a situation where you’ve needed these services, you may not know exactly how they work, what they do, or what information someone can access when they have your device.
This guide covers the ins and outs of losing your iPhone (or iPad), including settings that should be enabled beforehand for security purposes, how to use Apple’s tools to look for your device, and what happens when it’s in someone else’s hands.
