Adding back a deleted device

Without authorization, someone deleted my iPhone from my account. I have the phone information.


Is there a way to add the device back to my account so I can locate it?

iPhone 8

Hi Roscoe,

Since you cannot locate it and will not be able to locate the iPhone on Find My, the only option left is finding it the old fashioned way. I know this is the answer you did not want to hear however it is the truth.

Here is some information on If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support . It has some good useful information on Apple ID.

The way it works is that the iPhone gets registered (added) to your Apple ID when you initially activate it. You have to log into your Apple ID from that iPhone. Also, Find My app has to be activated on the iPhone before it was lost. Wish you luck in finding your iPhone.
