"Find my iPhone" is enabled

• Visit the iCloud website and sign in with your Apple ID.
• Click "Find my iPhone" and select the lost iPhone X to locate the device. You can play a sound - because maybe you just misplaced your smartphone?
• If the device is not near you, activate the "Lost" mode.
• Your device will be locked with a code. In addition, you can display a message on the lost iPhone X. You can enter a phone number here, under which the Finder reachent you.
