What can I do if I lost my iPhone 12 Pro without setting up Find My?
Asked by

I lost my iPhone 12 Pro recently, and unfortunately, I didn't set up Find My on it. I'm really concerned about my data and would like to wipe it remotely. But since I never enabled Find My, am I completely out of options?

If you never turned on Find My, then there's really no way to wipe your phone. Make sure you secure your accounts as best as you can.

Sounds like you’re really in a tough spot. Sorry to hear that! Ideally, activating those features is a must as soon as you get a new device.

Just a heads up, check your Find My app one more time if you haven’t yet. It’s usually activated by default unless you manually turned it off.

Unfortunately, if Find My wasn’t set up before you lost the phone, there’s nothing you can do now to wipe the data remotely.

Sorry to say, but it looks like you’re out of luck if Find My wasn’t set up. You should really change the passwords for any accounts linked to your phone, especially your Apple ID.

LostAndFound8: That’s a bummer! I guess it’s a good lesson to learn about setting up those features as soon as you get a new phone.
