Find My Iphone

I lost my iphone and put on the lost mode. I now have a new iphone and have set it up to my icloud- the same one that was used on my lost phone. Does this now unlock the iphone I have lost and no locker keep it in lost mode? Can i still ping the lost phone?


Thank you

iPhone 12 Pro

Don'ts

If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to turn on and use your device.


An example of my iPhone 5 is given in the GIF below. There is no "Undo" after you remove it from your account.

Even if you use the same Apple ID on multiple devices the lost device will not unlock itself. Please do not remove it from your Apple ID / iCloud Account as described earlier.
