Not only is it impervious to traditional viruses, but you can even secure it with a passcode, a fingerprint, or your own face. But what if you lose your iPad?

You can find your missing tablet using the free Find My iPad app, and one cool feature of it is Lost Mode, which locks down your device and can even display a custom message with your phone number so you can be contacted to return the device. Here's how to use it. These instructions apply to devices running iOS 9 and later.

Lost Mode will both lock the device with a passcode and disable Apple Pay, which will secure it (and your money). If you have saved more sensitive data on the device and back up your iPad regularly, erasing the iPad might be the best choice. You can do this by tapping the Erase iPad button in the Find My iPad app or website.

If you think someone stole your iPad, you should report it to the police. It would be useful for you to have your iPad's serial number at this point.
