Making sure you don't lose your iPhone
You can't use your iPhone if you can't find it. So, after securing your iPhone with passcodes, Touch ID, or Face ID, set up tracking so that you can find your iPhone in case you misplace it (or in case someone steals it).
The idea behind tracking a lost iPhone is that you can find it again. If for some reason you cannot retrieve your iPhone, then you can remotely wipe all the data so that a thief cannot access your personal data.
Tracking your iPhone requires using iCloud, which requires an Apple ID. Once you turn on tracking, you'll be able to track your iPhone using any device that can access iCloud, such as a computer or an iPad.
