“You need to do this iPhone hack in case your phone gets stolen because mine did last night and I got it back,” Katrina said.
She then shared the settings she had enabled that helped her track her stolen device.
How to find your iPhone
First, you need to head to your Setting and select Face ID and Passcode.
Once there, you need to toggle off Control Center and USD accessories.
Then go back to Settings > Privacy > toggle on location services.
Last, you need to go to Settings > Find My iPhone and toggle on all the three features there.
“This allows your phone, even when it’s off or on Airplane mode to still be findable,” Katrina said.
