I’ve misplaced my iPhone and the Find My iPhone feature wasn’t enabled before it went missing. Are there any other tracking options—perhaps through a phone monitoring app—that could help me locate it, or ways to use my Apple ID or other devices to pin down its whereabouts? I’m also wondering if there’s a way to remotely lock or erase it through these alternative tools in case it’s been stolen, and what steps I should take to set that up now to protect my data.
