Lost iPad doesn't show on a list of my devices
I am trying to remotely erase a lost iPad contents.
But the iPad doesn't show on a list of my devices
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Question marked as
If the lost device does not appear in the device list, this is an indication that Find My iPad was not enabled on the iPad prior to its loss. Enabling Find My iPad on the iPad serves two linked purposes:
1) It allows remote management of a lost or stolen device
2) It enables the Activation Lock that inhibits unauthorised reuse of a stolen or found iPad by anyone other than the legitimate owner.
