How to remove my old iphone which is still associated with my apple ID?

Hi,

I gave my father my old iphone 5s a few years ago.

Recently I activated Icloud to sync photos from my current iphone 6 to my laptop, and found out that my father is receiving my photos on his phone.

His device is removed from my Apple ID, he is using his own Apple ID.

How do I remove his phone from being associated with my Apple ID?

If he's getting the photos, then device was not actually removed from your Apple ID. Its very likely still signed in your Apple ID for iCloud.


On his iPhone check that you did in fact sign out from iCloud from your Apple ID and he signed into it with his.


Settings->Account(top of settings), and see if there is more than one email signed in there.


He should be able to sign out of iCloud by scrrolling all the way to the bottom there, and tapping on Sign out. He will need your password to complete the sign out.
