What If My iPhone Gets Stolen?!
I have a crazy real-life experience with stolen iPhones, but let’s just get to the point. If your iPhone gets stolen, it’s not the point of the world, as long as Find My iPhone is enabled.
What’s Find My iPhone? It’s a feature that lets you track, lock, and even erase your device remotely. It even works with your Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch. In fact, in iOS 13, Apple is updating the service to simply be called “Find My.” In addition to devices, the Find My app will also replace Apple’s Find My Friends app, letting you locate both people and devices in one app.
To enable Find My iPhone on your device, you must be signed into an Apple iCloud account. In the Settings app, you should see your Apple ID at the top of the main page, tap it to access your iCloud account settings. Select Find My (in iOS 13) and ensure Find My iPhone is enabled. That’s it. Now just use the Find My iPhone app or sign in to iCloud through a web browser to track your iPhone.
