Answered by Robert Flynn

To turn off Find My iPhone from another device, follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser on any device, such as a computer or another smartphone or tablet.
2. Go to the iCloud website by typing “icloud.com” in the address bar and pressing Enter.
3. Sign in to your iCloud account using your Apple ID and password. Make sure you use the same Apple ID that is associated with the iPhone you want to turn off Find My iPhone on.
4. Once you’re logged in, you’ll be taken to the iCloud dashboard.
5. Locate and click on the “Find iPhone” icon. It resembles a green radar symbol.
6. You will see a map with all the devices associated with your Apple ID. Find the iPhone you want to turn off Find My iPhone on and click on it.
7. A window will pop up with various options for your iPhone. At the top-right corner of the window, you’ll see an “i” icon. Click on it.
8. A new window will open, displaying the details and settings for your iPhone. Look for the “Remove from Account” option and click on it.
9. A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you want to remove the iPhone from your iCloud account. Click on “Remove” to confirm.
10. After confirming, Find My iPhone will be disabled on your iPhone. This means that anyone who finds or has access to your device will not be able to track its location or erase its data remotely using Find My iPhone.

It’s important to note that turning off Find My iPhone requires you to enter your Apple ID password. This adds an extra layer of security, preventing someone from disabling Find My iPhone without your authorization.

If you no longer have access to the iPhone you want to turn off Find My iPhone on, you can still disable it remotely. Simply follow the steps above using any other device that has internet access and is signed in to your iCloud account.

Remember, turning off Find My iPhone also disables Activation Lock, which is a security feature that prevents anyone else from activating your iPhone without your Apple ID and password.
