Have you ever found an iPhone and wanted to return it to its rightful owner? Or maybe you bought a phone on eBay and realized it might be a scam? Whatever the case may be, it’s important to know how to find the owner of an iPhone, even if it has a password on it. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the necessary information.
If the iPhone has no password, you can easily find the owner’s information by going to the Settings app and looking in the iCloud section. There, you’ll be able to find the owner’s details. You can also open up Contacts and check the My Card section for additional information, such as email addresses.
However, if the iPhone is password-protected, things get a bit trickier. You can try opening up the Medical ID (if available) by clicking on Emergency and then Medical ID. This will bring up the owner’s information and emergency contacts, if they were set up. If not, you can try asking Siri who the phone belongs to. But keep in mind that this will only work if there is a valid SIM card with data or credit installed.
If Siri is disabled or not available, you can also try plugging the iPhone into iTunes and checking if the owner’s first and last name are on the phone’s name. Additionally, if the phone’s battery has been flat for a long time, you can reset the time to the current date by inserting a SIM card.
To increase your chances of getting back a lost iPhone, make sure you set up a Medical ID and display it on the lock screen. Also, be sure to name your iPhone appropriately, such as with your first and last name.
Returning a lost iPhone can be a rewarding experience, and with these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to find the owner’s information even if the phone is password-protected.
