Turn off Find My iPhone or iPad in Settings

Ahead of a repair service or before your return your damaged device to Asurion, you should turn off Find My.

If your iPhone or iPad is unusable or you don’t have it with you, you must turn this feature off at iCloud.com.

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings.
  2. In Settings, tap your name.
  3. Tap the Find My icon.
  4. Look for Find My iPhone or Find My iPad:
    1. If it says Off, you're all done.
    2. If it says On, tap the toggle switch
  5. Enter your Apple ID password and tap Turn Off
  6. Is a Security Delay in Progress? You may experience an Apple Security Delay before you are able to turn off Find My on your device.
    1. While on a Security Delay, you can also turn off Find My by removing the activation lock on iCloud. Follow the instructions on how to
      Remove a device from iCloud.com/find
    2. You can also wait 1-hour for the security delay to end and turn off Find My on your device.
      1. When it ends start at step 1 again.
      2. Just a reminder: When the delay is over, there is a short window to turn off Find My. Be sure to quickly complete the steps.

You need to turn off Find My iPhone when you are having Asurion repair or replace it. Turning off Find My iPhone is a requirement of your insurance program and the claim process, and we may charge you a substantial fee if you don’t turn it off. Follow the steps in this article to verify that it’s turned off before sending us your iPhone for repair or replacement. If your iPhone is unusable or you don’t have it with you, you must turn this feature off at iCloud.com.
If you opted in for Stolen Device Protection under iOS 17.3 or newer, Apple may initiate a Security Delay, preventing immediate security changes on your device when you're in an unfamiliar location. This delay lasts 1-hour but you can still use your phone. You'll receive a notification from Apple when the delay ends, and you will have a short window to make changes before it starts again. Turning off your device and then removing it from the iCloud.com will also disable Find My. For more information on Stolen Device Protection, visit Apple Support.
If the Find My option is greyed out in your settings, it’s usually due to an iCloud, Location Services, or Screen Time setting.
Try these quick fixes:
  • Accept iCloud Terms & Conditions
 Go to Settings > [Your Name] and accept any pending iCloud Terms.
  • Turn On “Share My Location”
 Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and make sure Share My Location is turned ON.
  • Check Screen Time Restrictions
 Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions
  • Under Passcode & Face ID, Accounts, and Location Services, make sure all are Allowed
  • Under Location Services > Find My iPhone, set to Allow changes
If Find My is still greyed out after these steps, please contact Apple Support or give us a call for assistance.
