Preparation, not a recovery guarantee

Your selections stay in this browser tab and are not submitted or saved by ChinaTripKit. Do not enter passwords, recovery codes, phone numbers, card details, or booking data here.

Official guidance checked

Apple requires Find My to be enabled before a device can be marked lost. Google lists power, connectivity, account sign-in, Find Hub, and device visibility among the conditions for remote actions. Availability and results still depend on the device and provider.
