In this article we are going to share some precautions you need to take so that you don't get to ask the question: What to do if my iPhone has been stolen?\u00a0<\/p>

There is no guarantee that these tips will protect you in all cases, but following them will reduce your overall risk and should be taken into account.<\/p>

My iPhone has been stolen, what do I do?<\/h2>

Having your phone stolen is bad enough, but we have to remember that we store a lot of relevant information on the device that can end up in an even bigger loss than the cost of the iPhone itself.<\/p>

For example, you probably have your bank applications installed, passwords saved and email accounts active.\u00a0<\/p>

Therefore, the first thing you should do is to shield access to your data on the device and learn how to lock a stolen iPhone.<\/p>

If you have a passcode on your iPhone, you're pretty safe at first, but if you don't, or want extra security, use \u00abFind My iPhone\u00bb to lock your phone and add a passcode. That step will prevent the thief from using your phone.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If you can't recover the iPhone or it has sensitive information on it, you are still left with remotely wiping the data from the iPhone. Deleting the data may not stop the thief from using your iPhone, but at least he won't have access to your personal data afterwards.<\/p>

The following are the steps to use \u00abFind my iPhone<\/a>\u00bb from the iCloud website:<\/p>

  1. Visit iCloud.com and sign in with the same Apple ID you are signed in with on the iPhone.<\/li>
  2. Select \u00abSearch iPhone<\/a>\u00bbto search for all devices on which you are logged in with that ID.<\/li>
  3. Find My iPhone shows the location of your device as a green dot. You can zoom in and out and view the map in standard, satellite and hybrid modes.<\/li>
  4. To locate a specific device instead of showing all your devices on the map, select \u00abAll devices\u00bb and choose a different device.<\/li><\/ol>

    \"What<\/p>

    Inside the icon with a\u00a0i<\/span>\u00a0there are additional options such as the phone playing a sound. To lock the device screen remotely and set a passcode (even if you have not set a passcode on the device), select \u201cLost Mode\u201d. This prevents someone else from using the device and accessing your personal data.<\/p>

    You can also use the \u201cLost Mode\u201d to write a message that appears on the device's screen. For example, a phone number so that the person who has the iPhone can get in touch (you might have run into someone of good will).<\/p>

    To remotely erase your iPhone, in case you have lost hope of recovering it, choose \u00abErase iPhone\u00bb. Erasing the phone's data prevents you from finding it in the future in this way, but if you recover the device later, you can restore your data from the backup.<\/p>

    What to do if your stolen iPhone is disconnected<\/h2>

    Even if Find My iPhone is configured, your device may not appear on the map. There may be several reasons for this:<\/p>
