    That’s why there’s “Find my iPhone” in which we are able to send a message to the iPhone in case it is lost.

    This doesn’t even make sense... this would be the case for any phone with a passcode.

    Is that possible on iOS? As far as I know, its only on Android.

    You can always take a selfie, add the phone number to it via a photo editor and then save the photo as a lockscreen wallpaper.

    Not everyone who finds a lost iPhone would think or know to check that. But if the number is on the lockscreen wallpaper, it can't be missed.

    I can only speak for myself; if I ever found an iPhone and had no way to locate the owner, the first place I'm taking it is to my nearest Apple store. They can handle it from there.

    I definitely wouldn't put a secondary phone number or my main number on my lock screen. An email address yes, but not a phone number.

    Apple has said NOT to bring lost or stolen phones to their stores. They say turn them in to the police, and let them handle it.
