From your Home screen:

  1. Tap Settings, then tap your name, and then tap Find My.
  2. Tap Find My Phone.

  2. Choose Security.
  3. Select Find my iPhone (Apple) or Find my device (Android).

Turn off

Important: If you’re returning, selling, or giving away your device, you must turn off Find My for your device. You’ll have to erase all content and settings from your device before handing it over. Keep in mind, erasing this will completely erase your device, turn off Find My, and remove the device from your account. Failure to disable Activation locks will result in a significant reduction in trade-in value.
