Unable to see my stolen iPhone 15 location on Find My

Last known location is showing on findmy when the device was last online. And now it's showing will be removed on 25 Feb.

Also, received this sms on my number today, "Dear Customer,

Your lost iDevice 15 has been temporarily switched ON.

This above link doesn't seem official so I haven't tried opening it.


Has the theif got access to my phone? Is there any hope of finding it now?

The thief is trying to trick you into removing your phone from Find My, so they can have full access to your phone.


Do NOT remove the phone from the list of devices using your Apple ID.


Sorry, the phone is gone, but at least you can really frustrate whoever has it by refusing to do what they ask.

I’m very sorry to hear that your device was stolen. I have scanned that URL on all of my softwares, and it does contain malware. You mentioned that on find my it has stopped showing location? Does it say last seen at…? My guess is that the thief has let the battery die as find my still works if the phone has been shut down with battery life left in it. I would report it to Apple and the authorities, and also on find my put it into lost mode. I reckon eventually they’ll turn it back on and it will reappear on find my. Also with lost mode enabled, you will be notified when its location updates. That’s all I can think of so far. I hope you find your phone and hope that this info is of use. 😀
