How do I remotely wipe my phone

Welcome to iMore. Sorry to hear about your phone. Hopefully you had Find My Phone turned on. This will be the only way you can wipe your phone. Sign in to icloud.com and go to Find My Phone. Wait for your phone to show and then you can set it to remotely wipe.. Even if it is offline, as soon as whoever stole you phone turns it on, the phone will be wiped.
