Move quickly, but in the right order: lock the device, protect the cellular line and accounts, and avoid creating new security risks.
Use Apple Find My, Samsung Find or Google Find Hub immediately.
If the location is unfamiliar or theft is suspected, use appropriate law-enforcement channels.
Report the device stolen and ask about suspending or protecting the line.
A thief or scammer may send fake “your phone was found” messages to obtain credentials. Never disclose a passcode, password or verification code.
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.
