Stolen Device Protection on iPadOS 17.3 not there or is it just me?

[VinnyML]

Hey all,

Just confirming to see if iPadOS 17.3 has stolen device protection or not. Asking as I can't seem to find the feature to enable it on my iPad Pro 11 but haven't seen any information advising it is not available for iPads.

Thanks

It's only on iPhones. If you compare the release notes for each, you'll see that it's not mentioned in iPadOS 17.3.

If you are in settings and search for "stolen device" it does show a result and will ask for passcode but it is not there as it is on the iPhone.

It was not showing on my iPhone either, but I think this was due to screen time restrictions to prevent passcode changes.

As @chrfr stated, it's not available on the iPad. Maybe in a future update?
