Stolen device protection option not there

[raylo32]

So, I have iOS 17.3, have been using Face ID on my XR since new, but when I go to Settings>Face ID and passcode, this feature is missing. What's up with that?

Maybee turned of Significant Locations or any of the other requirements?

To turn on Stolen Device Protection you must use two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and set up or enable the following on your iPhone: a device passcode; Face ID or Touch ID; Find My; and Significant Locations* (Location Services).

Settings, Privacy & Security, location services, system services do you have significant locations turned on?

I'll have to check all that stuff.

I don't see that setting either, although the thing is always trying to take me home or other significant locations like work.

@raylo32 Is your device a managed device such as a workphone or similar?

No.

OK, I am officially an idiot. Not for the first time, I suppose. I actually DON'T have 17.3 yet. I saw 17.3 but it was just the message to get the update, not that I had it. Updating now. Sorry for the confusion...

Parental controll can also affect what settings can be done to Facetime and Password.

So check out Settings > Screentime so there are no restrictions to privacy/location or restrictions to change other settings.

Oh, missed your update, ha, ha.
No worries, that’s a treatable condition! 😂
