Lost or stolen iPhone
Your iPhone is missing. Protect the accounts it can reach, then decide about the device itself.
What this assumes
- You are using a different device: a computer, a tablet, or someone else's phone.
- You have internet access on that other device.
Do these first
Containment. Minutes matter here and nothing else does.
- Sign in to iCloud on another device, open Find Devices, select your iPhone and turn on Mark As Lost. This locks it and shows a contact message. Official page
- Enter a contact number that is not the missing phone.
- Call your carrier and ask them to suspend the line, so the number cannot receive your verification codes.
- Change your Apple Account password from the other device.
- Change your primary email password next, then any financial account you can reach.
Afterwards
When the immediate situation is over, a plan is what keeps it from happening the same way twice. That needs an account; this page never will.
