How Do I Turn Off Stolen Device Protection?

To turn off Stolen Device Protection on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings: Locate and tap the "Settings" app on your iPhone's home screen.

2. Access Face ID & Passcode:

   • On iPhones with Face ID, tap on "Face ID & Passcode."
   • Enter your passcode when prompted.

3. Find Stolen Device Protection: Scroll down the menu until you find the option labeled "Stolen Device Protection."

4. Turn Off the Feature: Tap on "Stolen Device Protection" and then toggle the switch to the off position.

Important Considerations:

• Passcode Required: You'll need your passcode to access and modify Stolen Device Protection settings.
• Security Implications: Turning off Stolen Device Protection will lower the security of your device in case of theft.
• Verification Delays: When you disable Stolen Device Protection and you're not in a familiar location, you'll have to wait one hour to turn off the feature if you are not in a familiar location. This is a security measure designed to keep your device safe from someone who has stolen it and your passcode.
• Familiar Locations: If you are at a familiar location, you will be able to immediately disable the feature, this will be the location your phone detects you to be at the time you first enable this feature.
