Step 1.  Go to your iPhone “Settings”. Scroll down and tap “iCloud”. 

Step 2. Then you will have to scroll down and turn “Find My iPhone” to “ON”.

Step 3. Turn “Send Last Location” to “ON” as well.

Step 4. “Find My iPhone” feature will allow you tracking your iPhone’s location via iCloud and activated “Send Last Location” feature will send you last known phone’s location (before your battery dies) to iCloud as well.  That allows you to track stolen or lost phone with more ease.

Result: Of course, the thief can turn off your stolen iPhone, but then he’ll have the difficulty using it without knowing your password. So, keep your “Find My iPhone” and “Send Last Location” features activated and keep your iPhone password - protected!

You’ve just learned how to protect your iPhone from theft.
