What to do now

1Check Find My anyway

Open Apple Find Devices and select the missing iPhone.

2Review the available location

Apple may show a last-known location depending on the device, settings and timing.

3Mark it as lost

Lost Mode is still an important protective step.

4Prepare for recovery or replacement

If it does not return online, protect your number and accounts and consider replacement options.

Once the emergency is under control

Depending on your situation, you may need a replacement phone, portable charger, tracker, travel connectivity or device protection. Recommended products and services will always be separated from official security actions and clearly disclosed when a link may earn a commission.
