Worried about your phone being stolen? Make sure you enable Stolen Device Protection on your iPhone; it must be running iOS 17.3 or above.
If your phone is unlocked, i.e. you're using it, and it gets snatched, it limits what the person who stole it can do for an hour if it's in unfamiliar locations giving you chance to remotely trace and lock it, etc.
To enable it, or check that you have it enabled, go to the following on your iPhone:
Settings > Privacy and Security > Stolen Device Protection - turn Stolen Device Protection on.
