What happens when you erase a device in Find My iPhone?

A confirmation email is sent to your Apple ID email address.
Activation Lock remains on to protect it. Your Apple ID and password are required to reactivate the device.
If you erase a device that had iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or later installed, you can use Find My to locate or play a sound on the device. Otherwise, you won't be able to locate or play a sound on it. You may still be able to locate your Mac or Apple Watch if it's near a previously used Wi-Fi network.
Apple Pay is disabled for your device. Any credit or debit cards set up for Apple Pay, student ID cards, and Express Transit cards are removed from your device. Credit, debit, and student ID cards are removed even if your device is offline. Express Transit cards are removed the next time your device goes online. See the Apple Support article Manage the cards that you use with Apple Pay.
If you use two-factor authentication, the device that you erased is removed from your list of trusted devices.
If you erase but then find your device, you can restore the information on it with an existing backup. See the Apple Support articles Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup, Restore your Mac from a backup, and Restore Apple Watch from a backup.

Remotely erase your device or a family member's device

In Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, click All Devices, then select the device you want to erase.

If you don't see All Devices, it's because you've already selected a device. Click the name of the current device in the center of the toolbar to access the Devices list, then select a new device.
Click Erase [device].
Do one of the following, depending on what you want to erase:
- iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch: Enter your Apple ID password or your family member's Apple ID password. If you're not using a trusted browser, answer your security questions or enter the verification code that's sent to your other devices. If you're using your own computer and want to skip the verification step in the future, click Trust. If you're using a friend's computer, click Don't Trust.
- Mac: Enter your Apple ID password or your family member's Apple ID password. If you're not using a trusted browser, answer your security questions or enter the verification code that's sent to your other devices. If you're using your own computer and want to skip the verification step in the future, click Trust. If you're using a friend's computer, click Don't Trust. Enter a passcode to lock the Mac (you need to use the passcode to unlock it).
If the device is lost and you're asked to enter a phone number or message, you may want to indicate that the device is lost or how to contact you. The number and message appear on the device's Lock screen.

If your device is online, the remote erase begins after you follow the onscreen instructions. If your device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it's online.

For more information about trusted devices and verification codes, see the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID.

Cancel an erase

If your device is offline, the remote erase happens the next time it's online. If you find the device before it's erased, you can cancel the request.

In Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, click All Devices, then select the device.

If you don't see All Devices, it's because you've already selected a device. Click the name of the current device in the center of the toolbar to access the Devices list, then select a new device.
Click Stop Erase Request, then enter your Apple ID password.

You can also use Find My on any device that's signed in with the same Apple ID. See Use Find My to locate people, devices, and items.

If Find My isn't set up on your missing device, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.

Note: If you don't expect to find your iPhone, iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models), or Apple Watch (Wi-Fi + Cellular models), contact your wireless service provider to suspend service so you aren't responsible for phone calls or other charges.
