Best Ways To Find A Stolen Or Lost iPhone

Losing an iPhone, or having one stolen, can be a panic-inspiring event. Not only are you out a sizable chunk of money, but all your contacts and lists and phone numbers—often huge parts of your day-to-day life—are gone. But don’t despair, as these apps and tips can help you recover your missing iPhone.
Find My iPhone

This official app from Apple uses the company’s iCloud service to locate your lost phone. First, be sure to set up Find My iPhone so that you can use the app when your phone is missing to see your phone’s location, remotely lock the phone, set a passcode on it, or even remotely delete its data. It’s free and requires access to another iOS device, a Mac, or a web-connected computer when yours is lost.
Device Locator

Device Locator

Unlike some of the other apps on this list, the Device Locator app doesn’t require a monthly subscription. Instead, this app lets you log into a web-based account to track the location of a phone, cause it to make noise, lock the phone to prevent access by a thief, and more
GadgetTrak

GadgetTrak

An app and web-based service that sends location data about your phone to its servers. With that information, you can locate your iPhone by GPS, map, IP address, and more. You may even be able to snap a picture of the thief who has it.

FoneHome offers GPS-based location of lost or stolen iPhones, as well as the ability to remotely take photos (maybe even snap a pic of the thief), play a sound (great if you just lost your iPhone in the couch), and track information online
Mobile Spy
Mobile Spy
This subscription-based service can track stolen or lost smartphones. Mobile Spy features include a web-based account to log incoming calls and texts, locate via GPS, record newly added contacts, track emails, and more.
Ping With Your Apple Watch

If you own an Apple Watch, you can use it to ping your synced iPhone. The ping function is found in the Apple Watch’s Control Center—get to it by swiping up from the bottom of your watch. The icon looks like a phone with sound waves coming off of it. Tap the ping button and your iPhone will emit a ping sound, even if it is set to silent or vibrate only. Keep pressing it as needed as you hunt for the missing phone.

As an added function, tap and hold the ping button to cause the iPhone’s LED flash to blink (this only works when the iPhone is locked).
Call Your Phone

This technique won’t help you retrieve a stolen iPhone, but if you’ve lost your phone around the house or office, it’ll do fine. Just call your phone number and, unless your ringer is off, you’ll be able to track your phone to between the couch cushions by following the rings. Obviously, you’ll have to either have access to a landline or another person’s phone for this one.
Make Wallpaper with Contact Info

Though a few apps above offer a similar thing, you can create a wallpaper with your contact information for free. Use your favorite graphics program to create a wallpaper with your name, email address, an alternate phone number you can be reached at, and any other pertinent information a person can use to get in touch with you. Then sync the image to your iPhone and set it as both the wallpaper and lock screen. This won’t foil a thief, but it could help you get a lost iPhone back if it is found by a kind person.

When you entered incorrect passcode on your iPhone x too many times, you will be locked out and a message like "iPhone is disable'. Would like to fix the disable iPhone? Luckily this Dr.Fone Unlock can help you remove forgotten passcode from iPhone X without iTunes .

First, turn off 'find my iPhone'
Second, all data will be erased from iPhone.
