Find My iPhone lets you remotely erase your devices, but then you won’t be able to track them afterwards. Lost Mode is designed for when you’ve lost your device, but you haven’t given up on finding it yet. While in Lost Mode, the device is locked and people won’t be able to access any personal information. Anyone who finds it will see a message on the screen informing them the device is lost and they should contact you. And, while it’s in Lost Mode, you can keep tracking its location.

Part 2. What Happens if You Turn On Lost Mode on an iPhone?

Lost Mode is a protection of the lost Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, macOS computer and Apple watch. Below is what will happen when the Lost Mode is turned on.

  • A confirmation email will be sent to the email address of your Apple ID.
  • You can display a custom message on the screen of your d
    evice. For example, you can explain that the device has been lost or provide your own contact information.
  • When you receive a message or notification, or any alarm is triggered, your device will not display a reminder or play a sound. Your device can still be used to receive calls and FaceTime calls.
  • Apple Pay on your device will be disabled. The system will suspend all credit and debit cards, student IDs, and express transit cards set in Apple Pay on your device. Even if your device is offline, Apple Pay and student ID will be suspended. After your device goes online again, the system will deactivate the express transit card. After unlocking your device and signing in with your Apple ID, you can resume using the disabled card on your device.

If you use an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, you will see the current location of the device and all changes in the location on the map. If the device's location service is turned off, the location function will be temporarily turned on to track its location. For Mac, if the device is not near the Wi-Fi you have used before, you can’t locate or erase, and you can’t remotely change the password or unlock the device.
