The one record a thief can't wipe.
A phone thief's first move is a factory reset — and every app that lived on the phone goes with it. LastPing keeps the record off the phone, so what happened is still there after the wipe.
Example readout — illustrative data
No new hardware. One iOS Shortcut, running quietly.
LastPing is honest about what an iPhone will and won't do in the background. It checks in on a schedule and on events — it is not continuous live tracking.
Install the Shortcut
A two-minute setup. The LastPing Shortcut links your iPhone to your private record. Nothing to buy, nothing to carry.
It checks in
Periodic and event-based check-ins log your last known area, battery, and a SIM-swap alert — straight to a server only you can read.
If it's taken, you export
Open your record from any browser and export a dated incident dossier for the police report or an insurance claim. The wipe doesn't touch it.
What LastPing is — and what it isn't.
The theft-recovery market oversells. We'd rather you buy the real thing, so here's the honest line.
✓ What it is
- The record that survives the reset. The one thing Find My can't do — your log lives beyond the Apple ID a thief erases.
- Last known area & SIM-swap alert. Captured before the phone goes dark.
- An exportable incident dossier. Dated, structured, ready for a crime reference or a claim.
✗ What it isn't
- Not live tracking. An iPhone Shortcut checks in periodically — it can't follow a moving thief in real time, and we won't pretend it can.
- Not a recovery service. We don't get your phone back. We give you the record to act on.
- Not a photo of the thief. Capture at the moment of theft is best-effort, never a promise.
Harden your iPhone in 3 taps.
iOS already ships the settings that beat the common London attack — a thief who watched you type your passcode. LastPing walks you through switching them on at signup, then keeps the record for the case where the phone still goes.
Stolen Device Protection
Turning off Find My, changing your Apple ID, or erasing the phone then needs Face ID — with no passcode fallback. The single biggest defence against a shoulder-surfed passcode.
Face ID & Passcode → Stolen Device Protection → On
Block USB when locked
Stops a computer pulling data or wiping the phone over a cable once it's been locked for an hour — the forensic-extraction route.
Face ID & Passcode → Allow Access When Locked → Accessories → Off
Lost Mode suspends Apple Pay
One switch in Find My locks the screen and freezes Apple Pay and your cards, so a thief can't spend while you sort out the rest.
Find My → Devices → your iPhone → Mark As Lost
iOS does this, not us — and we won't pretend otherwise. LastPing can't flip these switches for you (Apple keeps them behind your passcode, by design). Our job is to make sure they're on, and to hold the black-box record for the case where the phone is gone anyway.
