Sorry that happened to you, and glad that you're alive!

Regarding the phone, even if GPS is not enabled, Google has a "find my device" page at: https://www.google.com/android/find

It can remotely wipe your device as well as find it.

I can't speak to iphones as I don't personally use them but I'm sure they have something similar.

Obviously go through the police rather than trying to do this yourself.

Yes, iPhone has basically the same thing, and it’s pretty easy to do. It won’t get your phone back but it’ll save your data and make it slightly harder for those punks to make money off the phone.

OP, sorry about your situation! That’s terrible 😔

I figured, just didn't wanna say for sure since I wasn't certain!

Does the iphone version not have a way to track your phone?

Oh yeah you can definitely track the phone, have it make noises, reset/wipe etc., so long as the battery has power.
