Returning a lost or stolen iPhone to its owner is easy if the owner hasn't turned it on iPhone lock... However, if you find a locked iPhone, I have a few tricks to help you get in touch with the owner!
How to contact the owner of a lost or stolen iPhone
If you are in possession of a lost or stolen iPhone, it is best to return it to the owner. After all, the chance that you will be found by law enforcement agencies or the owner is very great, besides, the former owner can block him and you will have a "brick". In addition, usually when the smartphone is returned to the owner, he usually gives a reward.
1. If there is no lock code, please contact your family or friends
Nobody likes it when someone invades their privacy, but there is an exception, because you decided to do a good deed and return the iPhone. Just open the "Phone" icon and see who the person communicates with regularly. Most likely, these contacts will be in the "Chosen", usually close friends and family members.
However, this method will only help when there is no blocking! Since the introduction of Touch ID, blocking smartphones has become common.
2. If iPhone is locked, ask Siri for help
Most people do not understand that even if the iPhone is on, you can still make calls and send messages from it, unless, of course, this function is disabled in the settings. However, it's not hard to check and tell Siri to call, to do this, hold down the Home button for a few seconds and say:
- "My phone."
- "Call your mom."
- "Call your dad."
If nothing is found, try commands such as "Call my wife" or "Call a friend" etc.
3. Do not turn off iPhone and answer incoming calls
Another thing you need to do is keep your iPhone charged and turned on. In most cases, after the iPhone owner realizes that the phone is lost, they will try to call it from another phone. As strange as it may sound, you had better pick up the receiver and perhaps the owner will be on the other end of the tube.
4. Look at the message from Find My iPhone
The owner of the iPhone can use the Find iPhone feature, which locks the lost iPhone, turns on the power saving mode on it, and also turns it off. Apple Pay... The mode also allows you to leave a message on the phone lock screen.
Wake your iPhone from sleep and check if the owner of the phone has left a message for the person who finds it.
One final note on lost or stolen iPhones

Your tips on how to find the owner of a lost or stolen iPhone?
If you've ever found an iPhone, how did you get in touch with the owner? Have you followed any of the steps above? And if so, which one? Be sure to write about it in the comments below!
Apple devices have never been considered budget devices, and after the crisis, their prices have become sky-high. That's why in recent times more and more often, thinking about purchasing an "apple", users make a choice in favor of a used model. However, there is nothing wrong with owning a slightly "shabby" iOS device, Apple produces truly high-quality equipment that can work without interruptions for many years, with a careful attitude.
However, there are still certain risks in buying a used device. One of these risks, and perhaps the most dangerous one, is this - the former owner did not untie his Apple ID from the device being sold. What is fraught with this state of affairs, we will figure it out in this article.
Apple ID is the user's personal account in the iOS world, without which it is impossible to access any of the Apple giant's branded services, including content purchase services. Thus, if the user does not have an Apple ID, he cannot even download the application from App Store... In short, the thing, as you know, is very useful and important - and, perhaps, it would not be an exaggeration to say that every (well, maybe with rare exceptions) user of an iOS device has an Apple ID.
Why do i need to unlink my Apple ID before selling my device?
As we said above, Apple ID provides access to all branded iOS services, including iCloud cloud storage, which is not only a service that allows you to back up information stored on a device on Apple servers, but also a powerful tool to protect apples from thefts.
It is with the help of iCloud that the "Find iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch" option is implemented. When this option is enabled, it automatically turns on and the so-called activation lock. When the lock works, every time after restoring / updating / resetting the iOS device, the user is required to enter the Apple ID parameters - or, to be more precise, the login and password of the personal account, otherwise access to the system will be denied.
What does such a scenario give? The absolute senselessness of stealing Apple devices! See for yourself, an attacker gets a device and, in order to sell it, performs a reset or restore, wanting to get a clean gadget, but after performing one of these procedures, he tries to ask you to enter the Apple ID login and password, which, of course, are unknown to him - unless, of course , it was not targeted theft. What's left for a thief to do? Yes, only to sell the "apple" for spare parts! And this is not very profitable, as you know, and makes the risk a person takes when stealing a device completely unjustified.
By the way, an excellent alternative to selling the device for spare parts is to return the device to its rightful owner, who, by the way, using the same "Find iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch" option and the iCloud.com website, can activate Lost Mode and leave a message like "This iPhone has been lost, please return for a fee."
In short, the scenario turns out to be excellent and needless to say that after the introduction of the activation blocking option in the iOS system, the number of thefts of Apple devices dropped dramatically. And, of course, every conscious user turns on this option on the device.
What if the previous owner hasn't signed out of their Apple ID?
So, Apple has implemented protection against theft perfectly, but ... you probably already guessed that the new owner of the device can get into the same situation as a thief if the previous user forgot to unlink his Apple ID and “Find iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch ”is turned on.
I must say that the new owner may not even notice this fact at first, and only by deciding to update the system and, faced with the requirement to enter the Apple ID password, realize how depressing the situation he is.
What to do? Where to run? How do I find out the previous owner's Apple ID? These and other questions are swarming in the head of an anxious user…. Unfortunately, our answer to them will not be unequivocally positive.
The fact is, in this situation, you have only two correct ways to solve the problem:
- find the previous owner
- contact Apple support
Find the previous owner
We hope you still have the seller's contacts? because The best way unlock an iOS device - make an appointment with the seller and ask him to enter a username and password, and then unlink. However, if the previous owner no longer uses the Apple ID that is tied to your device, the meeting is most likely not needed, he can simply tell you the necessary data, and you, owning them, can easily unlock and unlock yourself.
We hope your salesperson is knowledgeable and willing to help you. By the way, if he refers to the fact that he forgot his password, you can tell him that the special service iForgot will help him to remember it with ease.
Contact Apple Support
If it was not possible to contact the owner, or he refuses to make contact, you still have another surefire way to bypass the blocking - contact Apple support. Its specialists will definitely help you if you can prove that the device belongs to you, to prove this fact you will need a box from the device and a receipt from the purchase. We hope you took these important items from the previous owner?
Questionable ways
No? Then we have bad news for you, unfortunately, because you are in the position of a thief, in fact. Of course, you can try to look for loopholes, but a positive result is not guaranteed. What options are there for loopholes? Firstly, you can "push" on Youtube - new ways to bypass the activation blocking are constantly appearing on this video hosting - most of them were created simply to boost views, but, perhaps, some will work. For example, this is looks very convincing.
If the methods from Youtube did not help, you just have to go in search of a company / specialist that offers services to bypass activation blocking. But, remember, their activities are not very legal, and therefore one cannot count on any guarantees from their side. However, you have nothing else to do, you can only hope for a successful alignment.
Let's summarize
So, if you purchased a used iOS device, the previous user of which did not unlink from his Apple ID and did not turn off the "Find iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch" option, after trying to update / restore / reset the device, you will be prompted to enter the data of this identifier.
In this situation, the best way is to contact the seller and ask for help, if it is impossible to follow this recommendation, you should contact Apple support and try to prove that the device belongs to you. Otherwise, all that remains is to resort to all sorts of dubious ways to bypass the activation lock - you can try to do them yourself, in case of failure - contact special organizations.
However, all this "fuss" can be avoided by checking when purchasing the device, whether the account has been unlinked. Another one useful recommendation- it is advisable to purchase a used device from a friend.
The smartphone today is used not only as a means of communication. It contains a lot of useful and important information... Theft or loss of your machine can be a serious problem. The location of the switched on phone is easy to track using special applications. The situation is different when the device is turned off or discharged. Let's take a look at how to find an iPhone.
Can you find a lost or stolen iPhone?
The hardest thing to track down is an iPhone with a dead battery. Operating system the latest generation has a built-in function for tracking the device. Before disconnecting, the iPhone sends an SMS indicating the location. But you can use the function only after activating it. This way, you can easily track the lost iPhone that runs on iOS 8 with the battery disconnected.
How to find an iPhone if it's turned off
The easiest way to find an iPhone is through the website.
In the service menu, select the item. A city map will open. In the top tab "All devices" select your lost iPhone. The screen will display its location.
If you move the cursor to a point on the map, an auxiliary menu will open. You need to activate Lost Mode... You can turn on the sound on the iPhone (if it is somewhere close) or erase all data.

The quality of the maps in the app is poor. Sometimes a city with a population of 200,000 may be located at the intersection of two roads. You can try to find an iPhone by switching the map to hybrid or satellite mode.
V "Lost Mode" you can also send a message to your iPhone asking you to return the device.
Find iPhone by IMEI or Phone Number
IMEI is a unique phone number. it is assigned to the device by the manufacturer. It's almost impossible to change this code yourself. To find it out, just type the key combination *#06# .
There are special services on the network for finding an iPhone via IMEI. Their principle of operation is similar to that described earlier. The user specifies a unique iPhone code and activates a search based on geolocation data. In practice, finding an iPhone in this way is almost impossible because:
- It is extremely rare, but cybercriminals still manage to change the IMEI.
- To search for an iPhone, you need access to special equipment and databases of operators. This information is available only to law enforcement agencies.
The only way to find an iPhone using a code is to submit an ad on LoSToleN service... This is the IMEI database of stolen devices. Their owners publish information about the lost phone and indicate the amount of the reward. Participants in the secondary market often check the devices for the presence of information in the database.

To do this, in the phone settings (the gear-shaped button is located on the main screen), click on Apple ID ID...
