Turn off find my phone from computer

Apple offers a handy feature called “Find My iPhone” for anyone who purchases one of its devices. Find My iPhone helps you find more than just a phone, too. It can also help locate an iPad, Apple Watch or even a Mac computer and other products.

How does Find My iPhone protect a device? Several ways including:

• By indicating its location on a map
• By playing a sound on your device to help you find it
• By using Lost Mode to track it
• By erasing all your personal information from the device (if needed)

There’s only one challenge: How do you turn Find My iPhone off when you get a new device and get rid of an old device? While many users of Apple products have a hard time figuring out how to disconnect an old device from Find My iPhone functions, it’s actually quite easy.

Here’s a look at the 3 steps you can take to turn Find My iPhone off.

2. Visit the Find My Phone Section

3. Use Pull-Down to Remove Device

Once you’re fully logged into Find My iPhone, you should see a compass while the application locates your devices. Once devices are located, you’ll see a map that indicates with green dots exactly where your devices are.

Now, look at the top of your screen, and you should see a menu that says “All Devices,” as well as a pull-down arrow. When you click the menu, you should see a list of all devices associated with your Find My iPhone account.

Click on the device that you want to remove. One of your options will be “remove from account,” and that’s exactly what you want to do. You’ll get a dialogue box that asked if you’re sure about removing the device. If you’re absolutely sure, click “remove.”

And that’s it. Your device is now completely disassociated with your Find My iPhone account.
