Man Praises Auto Driver Who Returned Wife's Lost iPhone After Night-Long Search

An Indian man's stressful search for his wife's missing iPhone has turned into an example of honesty after an auto driver returned the phone the next morning. The man, who uses the handle @SrinivasFitness on X, shared how the situation unfolded and how a simple act of kindness made all the difference.

In his post, he explained that his wife's iPhone was lost. He wrote that he tried to call the phone more than ten times. Someone answered the call once and spoke in Hindi, but the phone was then switched off.

He also said that the phone could easily be turned off, and his wife didn't remember her iCloud password, so they couldn't use the Find My Phone feature. He asked if there was another way to find the phone.
