Find My iPhone is an iOS feature that allows users to locate their missing Apple devices. You can use it to find your missing AirPods, or a missing Apple Watch, or MacBook, or any other device connected to your Apple ID. But sometimes, you might need to turn off Find My iPhone.
While it’s best to always keep this Find feature on at all times, there are certain instances that you might need to turn it off. One of these includes when you want to pass your iPhone to someone else or sell it off. Another instance is if you just acquired a used iPhone.
