I haven't had an iPhone since the 3Gs - how are these sent? Via cellular data I assume, but is there some app you have to have on your computer?



You can find your iPhone and remotely lock it from the web: https://www.icloud.com/#find


Via "Find my iPhone" on a Mac or any iOS device you own, or on the web via iCloud, you can send a remote lock command (or locate/wipe the phone).


correct, the 'Find My iPhone' app can lock the phone in what they call "Lost Mode."

As others have mentioned, this can be done via iCloud/Find my iPhone, but it can also be done via MDM for enterprise controlled devices as well.


From an iOS app (find my iPhone) or iCloud.com


No, you can send the lock via the iCloud website. Although, to log on, you may have to use a 2FA code that is sent to your device or home Mac....


"Find My iPhone" is available without typing in password or 2FA.


No, you can activate Lost Mode without 2FA.
