Find My iPhone

Find My iPhone can help you locate and secure your iPhone using the free Find My iPhone app

(available in the App Store) on another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or using a Mac or PC web

browser signed in to

www.icloud.com/find

. Find My iPhone includes Activation Lock, which is

designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone if you ever lose it. Your Apple ID and

password are required to turn off Find My iPhone or to erase and reactivate your iPhone.
Turn on Find My iPhone. Go to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone.

Lost Mode:  Immediately lock your missing iPhone with a passcode and send it a message

been when you check the Find My iPhone app. Lost Mode also suspends the use of your credit

and debit cards used for Apple Pay (iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus). See

Erase iPhone:  Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your iPhone

and restoring it to its original factory settings. Erase iPhone also removes the ability to make
