它发生了。您将 iPhone 放在咖啡桌上，或将 iPad 放在自助餐厅。你试着去寻找它。您尝试使用 iCloud 找到它，但该设备已被禁用。您提出正式投诉，然后等待。 

但是，当您丢失 iPhone或 iPad时，您还应该做一件事。您应该删除您的数据，以便即使您的 iPhone 或 iPad 落入他人手中，他们也无法访问您的个人信息。值得庆幸的是，您的 iPhone 或 iPad 配备了内置的远程擦除功能。以下是远程擦除 iPhone 或 iPad 的方法。 

流程如何运作^{(How The Process Works)}

您可以使用iCloud 网站上的“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”功能（或使用其他设备）远程擦除您的 iPhone 或 iPad 。下次您的设备打开并连接到互联网时，它会自动擦除。 

但要使此功能正常工作，您需要在 iPhone 或 iPad 上启用“查找我的iPhone”功能。^{(Find My)}这也启用了激活锁功能，确保您的 iPhone 或 iPad 在没有您的^{(Activation Lock)}Apple ID和密码 的情况下无法重置。

即使您远程抹掉 iPhone 或 iPad，激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}仍处于启用状态。重新激活设备需要 您的Apple ID和密码。^{(Apple ID)}

抹掉 iPhone 或 iPad 后，您将无法使用“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”来定位它或使用它来播放声音。您的 iPhone 将禁用Apple Pay^{(Apple Pay)}，并且所有关联的卡和帐户都将从设备中删除。 

如何启用查找我的 iPhone 或 iPad^{(How To Enable Find My iPhone or iPad)}

如上所述，如果您没有启用“查找我的 iPhone”或“查找我的 iPad”功能^{(Find My iPhone or Find My iPad feature)}，此功能将无法使用。您只能在物理设备被擦除之前执行此操作。 

1. 打开您的 iPhone 或 iPad，然后转到“设置”^(Settings)应用。
2. 现在，从屏幕顶部选择您的个人资料。
3. 在这里，向下滚动，然后选择您当前使用的 iPhone 或 iPad。

1. 从列表顶部，点击查找我的 iPhone^{(Find My iPhone)}（或查找我的 iPad^{(Find My iPad)}）选项。
2. 在这里，点击“查找我的 iPhone”^{(Find My iPhone)}（或“查找我的 iPad”^{(Find My iPad)} ）选项旁边的切换开关以启用该功能。 

如何在 iPhone 或 iPad 上设置自动 iCloud 备份^{(How To Setup Automatic iCloud Backups on iPhone Or iPad)}

在“设置”^(Settings)应用中，您还应该启用iCloud 备份功能^{(iCloud Backups feature)}。这将定期备份 iPhone 和 iPad 中的重要数据（包括联系人、消息和应用程序数据）。 

这将确保当您切换到新的 iPhone^{(switch to a new iPhone)}或 iPad 时，您可以恢复所有数据。 

1. 在 iPhone 或 iPad 上打开“设置”应用，然后从顶部选择您的个人资料。^(Settings)
2. 在这里，选择iCloud选项。
3. 现在转到iCloud Backup部分，然后点击^{(iCloud Backup)}iCloud Backup旁边的切换按钮以启用该功能。 

1. 然后点击立即^{(Back Up Now)}备份按钮开始备份。 

如何远程擦除您的 iPhone 或 iPad^{(How To Remotely Erase Your iPhone or iPad)}

如果您尝试使用“查找”^{(Find My)}应用程序定位您的设备，并且您确定无法恢复它，那么请尝试远程擦除您的 iPhone 或 iPad。 

您可以使用另一台设备上的“查找我^{(Find My)}的”应用程序（以前称为“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”应用程序）或使用 iCloud 网站来执行此操作。 

1. 在网络浏览器中打开iCloud.com网站并使用您的详细信息登录。 

1. 然后单击查找 iPhone^{(Find iPhone)}按钮。

1. 现在，从顶部下拉菜单中选择您的 iPhone 或 iPad。

1. 要擦除设备，请单击右上角工具箱中的擦除 iPhone按钮。^{(Erase iPhone)}

这将开始擦除 iPhone 或 iPad 的过程。在此过程中，系统可能会提示您输入电话号码和消息。您可以使用此功能尝试取回您的设备，以防有人找到它。 

输入您的Apple ID和密码后，再次选择“抹掉^(Erase)”选项，让您的设备进入远程抹掉模式。 

如果您的设备在线，擦除过程将立即开始。如果您的设备处于离线状态，擦除过程将在下次连接到蜂窝网络或 Wi-Fi 网络时开始。 

如何在 iPhone 或 iPad 上取消远程擦除^{(How To Cancel Remote Erase On iPhone Or iPad)}

在远程擦除过程开始之前找到您的离线设备？您也可以取消它。 

1. 返回iCloud.com 的^{(iCloud.com’s)} 查找 iPhone^{(Find iPhone)}功能并从设备^(Devices)列表中选择您的设备。 
2. 然后，选择取消擦除^{(Cancel Erase)}功能，并输入您的Apple ID密码进行确认。 

尝试失败次数过多后如何擦除 iPhone 或 iPad^{(How To Wipe Your iPhone Or iPad After Too Many Failed Attempts)}

如果您不想使用“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”或“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPad”功能，您可以使用后备功能，该功能会在连续 10 次密码尝试失败^{(failed passcode attempts)}后自动擦除您的 iPhone 或 iPad 。 

要启用此功能，您需要先访问您的 iPhone 或 iPad。 

1. 在您的设备上打开“设置”^(Settings)应用程序，然后根据您的设备转到“面容 ID 和密码”^{(Face ID & Passcode)}或“触控 ID 和密码^{(Touch ID & Passcode)}”部分。 
2. 输入您的密码。 

1. 一直滚动到页面底部，然后点击^(Scroll)擦除数据^{(Erase Data)}选项 旁边的切换按钮。
2. 在弹出窗口中，点击启用^(Enable)按钮。

现在，该功能已打开。如果您的 iPhone 或 iPad 被盗，并且有人试图反复输入错误的密码，它会在第 10 次尝试后自动擦除。

虽然这是一个很好的安全功能，但您应该谨慎使用它。如果您家中有小孩可以使用您的 iPhone 或 iPad，他们最终可能会不小心擦拭您的设备。 

您擦除 iPhone 或 iPad 的体验如何？你^(Did)把你的设备拿回来了吗？你最终用什么代替了它？在下面的评论中与我们分享。

How To Erase Your iPhone Or iPad Remotely

It happens. You lеave your iPhоne on a coffee table or your iPad in the cafeteria. You try to look for it. You try to find it using іCloud but the device is disabled. You file an official complaint and you wаit. 

But there’s one more thing you should do when you’ve lost your iPhone or iPad. You should erase your data so that even if your iPhone or iPad falls into someone’s hands, they can’t access your personal information. Thankfully, your iPhone or iPad comes with a built-in remote erase feature. Here’s how to erase your iPhone or iPad remotely. 

How The Process Works

You can remotely wipe your iPhone or iPad using the Find My iPhone feature on the iCloud website (or using another device). The next time your device is turned on and connected to the internet, it will automatically wipe itself. 

But for this feature to work, you need to enable the Find My iPhone feature on your iPhone or iPad. This also enables the Activation Lock feature, which makes sure that your iPhone or iPad can’t be reset without your Apple ID and password. 

Even when you erase your iPhone or iPad remotely, the Activation Lock is still enabled. Your Apple ID and password will be required to reactivate the device. 

Once you erase the iPhone or iPad, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or use it to play a sound. Apple Pay will be disabled for your iPhone and any linked cards and accounts will be removed from the device. 

How To Enable Find My iPhone or iPad

As we mentioned above, this feature will not work if you don’t have the Find My iPhone or Find My iPad feature enabled. And you can only do this from the physical device before it is erased. 

1. Open your iPhone or iPad and go to the Settings app.
2. Now, select your profile from the top of the screen.
3. Here, scroll down, and select the iPhone or iPad that you are currently using.

1. From the top of the list, tap the Find My iPhone (or Find My iPad) option.
2. Here, tap the toggle next to the Find My iPhone (or Find My iPad) option to enable the feature. 

How To Setup Automatic iCloud Backups on iPhone Or iPad

While you’re in the Settings app, you should also enable the iCloud Backups feature. This will periodically back up the important data from your iPhone and iPad (including contacts, messages, and app data). 

This will make sure that when you switch to a new iPhone or iPad, you can restore all your data. 

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and select your profile from the top.
2. Here, choose the iCloud option.
3. Now go to the iCloud Backup section and tap the toggle next to iCloud Backup to enable the feature. 

1. Then tap the Back Up Now button to start the backup. 

How To Remotely Erase Your iPhone or iPad

If you have tried to locate your device using the Find My app and you’re sure that there’s no way to recover it, only then try to remotely erase your iPhone or iPad. 

You can do this using the Find My app (previously known as the Find My iPhone app) on another device, or using the iCloud website. 

1. Open the iCloud.com website in a web browser and log in with your details. 

1. Then click the Find iPhone button.

1. Now, from the top drop-down, select your iPhone or iPad.

1. To erase the device, click the Erase iPhone button from the top-right toolbox.

This will start the process of erasing your iPhone or iPad. During this process, you might be prompted to enter your phone number and a message. You can use this feature to try to get your device back, in case someone finds it. 

After entering your Apple ID and password, choose the Erase option again to put your device into remote erase mode. 

If your device is online, the erase process will start instantly. If your device is offline, the erase process will begin the next time it is connected to a cellular network or a Wi-Fi network. 

How To Cancel Remote Erase On iPhone Or iPad

Found your offline device before the remote erase process began? You can cancel it as well. 

1. Go back to iCloud.com’s Find iPhone feature and select your device from the Devices list. 
2. Then, choose the Cancel Erase feature, and enter your Apple ID password to confirm. 

How To Wipe Your iPhone Or iPad After Too Many Failed Attempts

If you don’t want to use the Find My iPhone or Find My iPad feature, you can use a fall-back feature that will automatically wipe your iPhone or iPad after 10 consecutive failed passcode attempts. 

To enable this feature, you need to have access to your iPhone or iPad first. 

1. Open the Settings app on your device and go to the Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode section depending on your device. 
2. Enter your passcode. 

1. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and tap the toggle next to the Erase Data option. 
2. From the popup, tap on the Enable button.

Now, the feature is turned on. If your iPhone or iPad is stolen, and someone tries to repeatedly enter wrong passcodes, it will automatically erase itself after the 10th attempt.

While this is a great security feature, you should use it cautiously. If you have small kids in the house that have access to your iPhone or iPad, they might end up accidentally wiping your device.
