What to do if your Apple device gets lost or stolen: Follow instructions

If your iPhone gets misplaced or gets stolen by someone, you should immediately use ‘mark as lost’ option in the Find My application. At the same time, lost mode clearly gives an indication to anyone who finds your device, that it still belongs to you and cannot be reactivated without your password. Step 4: Press ‘activate’ under ‘mark as lost’ and follow the on-screen instructions. If your iPhone gets covered by AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, then Theft and loss coverage needs you to have ‘Find My iPhone’ enabled on your device at the time it's lost or stolen.
