What do I do if I lose my iPhone (or iPad)?

A friend who is soon taking a trip (to a destination that is reporting an increase in crime 😳) asked me last week about what to do if she loses her iPhone while she is away.

This topic is covered in the soon-to-be published Travelling with Technology book from iTandCoffee. (Pre-order your copy here - and use the Coupon Code TRAV23 by April 20th to save 25%.)

We talk about the Find My app (as well as other considerations for your device and online security) in chapter 19. I have extracted the pages about Find My, for those of you who would like to have a read or download the content.

My iPad keeps notifying me that I have left it behind. How do I stop this?

If you have more than one Apple device, you may have noticed that you have started getting alerts whenever you leave a location without one of your devices.

For example, when we were away recently, my Apple Watch kept notifying me - every time that we left our accomodation - that I had left my iPad behind.

While this notification can be really handy in some circumstances (e.g. when you walk out of a cafe or shop without your iPhone), it can get quite annoying when you have left behind a device deliberately.

Here's how you can stop such messages if you don't want them - and how you can customise the list of locations where you regularly leave a device, so that no such warning occurs. And how you can turn off such notifications completely.

How to find information about a lost (or broken) Apple device - its iCloud backup, Serial Number, IMEI

If your poor iPhone or iPad (or perhaps your Mac) has suffered an 'accident' - or has perhaps been lost, stolen or just plain won't start up - the big question most people will ask is "Can I get back my photos?".

You may be able to live without many of the files and app data from your lost/broken device, but the loss of photos that were on your iPhone or iPad can be very distressing.

If your device has gone missing or has been stolen, you might be asked to provide the device's Serial Number and/or IMEI.

If you no longer have your device, how can you retrieve this identity information? And how can you work out if you have a backup of the device that you could restore to a new device, to get those photos (and other things) back?
