How to Use Stolen Device Protection on Apple’s iPhone

Wired  

If a thief ever steals an iPhone out of your bag or even snatches it from your grasp, panic sets in immediately. While it definitely sucks to have your smartphone nabbed, turning on Apple’s Stolen Device protection can immediately cut thieves’ access to your smartphone data. First released as part of iOS 17.3, Stolen Device Protection essentially adds an extra layer of security to your smartphone whenever the device is somewhere you don’t regularly visit. When they physically take your phone away from you and bring it to a location you don’t frequently visit, then the Stolen Device Protection security measures begin to kick in. Next, you’ll need to check whether two-factor authentication is enabled for your Apple ID, which is a good idea even if you aren’t using Stolen Device Protection.
