A modern person can hardly do without a mobile phone. IPhones are in great demand in the market, and therefore often attract lovers of easy money. If your phone has been stolen, then don't despair right away, because the iPhone can be found from the computer.
Instructions
Step 1
If you find your phone is missing, and after making a call to it, you realize that your SIM card is no longer active, you should not panic. All is not lost, and thanks to geolocation services, you can find your iPhone from your computer.
Step 2
To search for a lost or stolen iPhone from your computer, you had to first take care of its protection. To do this, you had to go to iCloud in the "Settings" menu of the phone, log in by entering your Apple ID and password (or create them by clicking "Get Apple ID for free"). The next step was to enable the Find IPhone application.
Step 3
To strengthen the protection of the iPhone, it was also necessary to set a password that would prevent unauthorized people from making changes in programs and gaining access to personal information through the "Password" item in the settings.
Step 4
If you have done all this in advance to protect your gadget, turn on your PC, go to the Internet, go to icloud.com. Enter your Apple ID and password. If your device is turned on, you can see its location and understand where the iPhone was lost.
Step 5
If you realize that your phone is somewhere nearby, and its sound is muted, you can remotely turn on the sound signal, thanks to which the device will be detected.
Step 6
You can find an iPhone from a computer by sending a message via iCloud with a text addressed to the person who found it. If you realized that you forgot your device, for example, in a restaurant, write that you are ready to pick up your phone by paying a reward by adding your phone for communication.
Step 7
If you realize that the iPhone has fallen into the wrong hands, you can only protect your personal information with a four-digit password, which will protect it from viewing. Also, personal data can be cleared remotely from a computer by dropping the phone to factory settings. If your phone is returned to you, you can restore all information via iCloud. It will also be possible to return data from the backup to the computer.
Step 8
You can try to search for your device through sites on the Internet offering to pierce the iPhone by IMEI. They usually have databases of stolen and lost gadgets. Also, information about the found iPhones is often entered there by people who accidentally picked them up and want to return. For example, you can refer to the iphoneimei.info portal. It should be noted that in most cases such information is free, and therefore you should not trust companies offering to provide the necessary data for money.
Step 9
If it was not possible to find the stolen iPhone from the computer, apply to the law enforcement agencies. They will probably be able to locate your device by IMEI.
