A method and apparatus for performing a lost mode in a mobile device are provided. When the mobile device receives a communication message containing a lost notification string, a lost mode is executed. The mobile device in the lost mode is connected to a social network server, based on user authentication information previously registered in the mobile device. The mobile device transmits a lost notification message, containing information regarding a location where the mobile device is currently located, to the social network server. As a result, it is more likely that the owner of the lost mobile device can retrieve the mobile device from a person who found it.
