Why blocking your digital wallet comes first if you lose your phone
If you lose a mobile phone, you should protect your digital wallet while trying to locate the device. Smartphones can store credit and debit cards, tickets, memberships, gift cards, IDs and even car keys, raising security risks the longer recovery takes. iPhone users can use Lost Mode via Find My, while Android users can lock devices through Device Hub. Remote wipes can remove payment data but may stop location tracking.
