Describe the situation
Do not enter secrets or device identifiers
Do not enter passwords, SMS/2FA or recovery codes, phone numbers, IMEI/EID/ICCID, eSIM QR codes or activation data. This navigator does not automatically suspend, lock or erase anything.
Select a device to show model, original carrier and recovery platform.
Keep irreversible actions later
- Locate and mark as lost / lock the device
- Suspend the SIM/eSIM/mobile line
- Review Apple/Google account and trusted devices
- Secure non-SMS 2FA and recovery methods
- Review wallet, transit, payment and critical services separately
- Restore authentication on a replacement SIM/eSIM and device
- Remote erase only after deciding recovery is unlikely
On Apple devices, do not remove a stolen device from Find My because that removes Activation Lock. On Android, erase ends further location tracking in Find Hub, so consider location, lock and account recovery first.
