How do you keep your iPhone safe when you travel?

Find an iPhone That’s Switched Off

If your phone dies, you can still use the Find My network to find it as long as "Find My Network" is turned on in settings.


Block Thieves from Airplane Mode with Face ID

To stop anyone from swiping into Control Center and hiding your phone, turn on Face ID restrictions in "Allow Access When Locked."
