Few things are more stressful than losing your iPhone. It holds your contacts, photos, banking apps, and personal data—all in one place. The good news is that Apple has built powerful tools into every device to help you track it down.
The first step is to use Find My iPhone. From another Apple device or by logging in at iCloud.com, you can see your phone’s location on a map. If it’s nearby, you can even play a sound to help locate it. If it’s truly lost, turn on Lost Mode. This locks your phone and displays a custom message with your contact information, making it easier for someone to return it.
If you believe your iPhone is gone for good, you can remotely erase your data to protect your personal information. At the same time, call your carrier to suspend service so no one can misuse your number.
For Calgary residents, it’s also a good idea to contact the Calgary Police Service’s Lost and Found or the venue where you think you misplaced it. Sometimes lost phones do turn up.
At The Stem Support, we help customers prepare for the unexpected by setting up Find My iPhone and other security features. If you’re not sure yours is configured correctly, stop by our Calgary location and we’ll make sure your iPhone is ready—so if it ever goes missing, you’ll have the best chance of getting it back.
