Hi
My iPhone was just stolen and I only found out when I got home. I then marked it as lost in Find My and subsequently erased the phone remotely. I have a passcode on my iPhone but I’m not sure if I activated the lock in time in Find My. I tried calling my phone but it goes to voice mail. But in Findmy The time which I assume is the phone was last seen keeps updated every now and then ( 19 mins ago…etc)
I know the phone is a goner and I will need to get a new phone but does anyone know if I activated the lock in FindMy in time? Am worried about any information or content that is stored on my iPhone storage and not on iCloud. Identity theft would be a nightmare
Anything else I need to do? Help appreciated. Thank you
You’ll likely soon be getting texts from “Apple Support” telling you that you need to remove the device to protect your data, and eventually texts threatening your life and your family’s. YOU ARE NOT IN DANGER.
Just keep it linked to your ID and don’t remove the icloud lock. To be safe, you can erase the device’s data but keep the activation lock through Find My.
Question, how do they get the phone number? Is there a way to hide it, and maybe hide the mail too from these fkers… in case the phone gets wiped remotely? I dont want to recieve weird sms just in case
By grabbing the phone when it’s unlocked, or potentially through Siri on the lock screen.
So ill just disable siri on lockscreen and im gold? Is there any way for them to contact me on the icloud locked page?
