If you got a shiny new Apple device over the holidays and almost immediately misplaced it, I’m not judging. Apple isn’t either. Your iPhone has a convenient feature called the\u00a0Find My network<\/span>, which helps you track down your phone if it goes missing. The Find My feature also lets you\u00a0keep tabs on other devices<\/span> in and out of the Apple ecosystem, which makes it a nice gift for those of us with a few too many things to keep track of.<\/p>\n

However, there are some situations where you should turn off Find My iPhone. The most common scenario is when you’re selling, trading in or otherwise saying goodbye to your iPhone — which you might do if you’ve just gotten a new phone. Doing so removes the phone from the list of devices associated with your account and prevents new owners from being able to access information about you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You should also turn the feature off if you need to send your iPhone in for service, according to Apple’s support page<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Apple makes it easy to turn off Find My iPhone. The steps vary depending on the operating system you’re using, but you only need a few steps to flip that switch. Here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n
