I had my new iPhone 15 stolen today and the location is no longer available. I have “Share my Location” ON with my family but for some reason Find my iPhone is off despite turning it on weeks ago. The last location seen was this morning and it won’t load a new one, indicating something has been shut off.

Howevwr, I’m wondering about the status of those shut offs. The phone still rings all the way through to voicemail, meaning it is still on and not in airplane mode (correct?). However, sending blue iMessages leaves a blank space under the messages without a “delivered” or “not delivered” status. Green SMS seems to be fine.

Also I have no other Apple devices in use or WiFi calling enabled.

Has the thief turned off cellular and wifi then to be causing this? I have notified the police but how trackable is this thing?

Go to https://icloud.com/find and log in. You won’t need two-factor authentication. This will give you proper access to Find My so you can put your phone in to lost mode or erase it.
