The easiest way to find the IMEI on an iPhone 11 is through Settings > General > About. Scroll down until you see the IMEI information. You can touch and hold the number to copy it when iOS offers that option.
Find the IMEI in Settings
- Open Settings.
- Tap General.
- Select About.
- Scroll to the device-identification section.
- Locate the IMEI.
Depending on the device and cellular configuration, more than one IMEI-related identifier can appear.
If you cannot open Settings
Apple provides other ways to locate identifying information. The iPhone 11’s IMEI is engraved on the SIM tray. You can also view device information through your Apple Account device list when the iPhone is associated with your account.
Treat the IMEI as device information
A carrier or Apple Support may legitimately ask for an IMEI when helping with activation, service, or device identification. Avoid posting the number publicly or sending it to an unknown person who contacts you unexpectedly.
The iPhone 11 is an older model, but the Settings route for viewing its IMEI remains straightforward on supported iOS versions.
