The previous owner had to remove Find My and remove it from their device list.

Without knowing their AppleID and password you cannot use the phone. A risk of buying second-hand phones.

I can’t get in touch with previous owners I purchased a used iPhone off OfferUp. Previous owners didn’t erase/reset the phone so I’m unable to unlock or use it. What do I do?

After factory resetting the phone, it requires previous owner email or passcode to setup. Past owner not contactable. Any alternative to reconfigure the phone?
