What should I do if I drop my iPhone and the other party shuts it down?

If your iPhone is dropped and picked up by someone who shuts it down, you have the following options: retrieve the phone through the search function, remotely lock the phone, report it lost, change the password, and contact the operator.

1. Retrieve the mobile phone through the search function: If the person who picked up the mobile phone turns off the phone after it is lost, then we cannot contact him by phone call. However, you can try to locate the phone through Apple's "Find My iPhone" feature. This needs to be enabled before the phone is lost. We can view the phone's location information by visiting the iCloud website or the "Find My" app on other iOS devices.

2. Remotely lock the phone: If we find that the phone is still on, we can remotely lock the phone through the "Find My iPhone" function to prevent others from accessing our personal information. In this way, even if the phone is turned on again, our iCloud account and password will be needed to unlock it.

3. Report lost: If the mobile phone cannot be recovered, we should report it lost to the local police station as soon as possible. This creates a record of the phone's loss and helps prevent its illegal use.

4. Change the password: If sensitive information is stored in the mobile phone, such as bank account number, social media account, etc., we should change the password of the relevant account as soon as possible to protect the personal information from being abused.

5. Contact the operator: Notify our mobile phone operator that the phone has been lost. They may help us take further measures, such as deactivating the SIM card to prevent the phone from being abused.
