It is very difficult to recover a phone lost in the sea. The biggest problem is that the phone gets damaged after falling in water and it becomes almost impossible to trace its owner. However, in a rare case, the iPhone that fell into the sea was not only functioning properly but was also returned to its owner. This happened with the help of a feature which is generally ignored. Let us know the whole matter.
iPhone was found in water about 10 feet deep
This case is of Maresias Beach in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Here a person named Thiago Itagaki saw an iPhone while swimming in the sea. It was submerged in about 10 feet deep water, about 10 meters away from the middle. He picked up the phone from there and came to the beach and inquired from people about it, but no one knew whose phone it was.
Owner found out with the help of Medical ID
After coming home, Thiago waited for the phone to dry up. After this, when he charged the phone, it was working properly. After that he got the idea of using the medical ID feature. In Medical ID, iPhone users can store important information related to their health and emergency contacts. It can be opened without any password. With this feature, Thiago was able to reach the real owner.
Contacted emergency contact
When Thiago contacted the number saved with the name ‘Love’ in the medical ID, he came to know the real owner of the iPhone. The owner of the phone was also surprised to hear about the recovery of the phone. He told that this phone was lost on the occasion of New Year’s Eve. Its owner was very happy to get his phone back after so many days.
