remove my apple ID from my iphone

Hello

My iPhone was stolen today and I lost my SIM card due to security issues. Now I want to delete my Apple ID from the phone, but since the phone is not connected to the Internet, I can not do that. It is very important to keep the information inside my phone. Please guide me how to clear my Apple ID.

If you want to keep the data on the iPhone safe, the last thing you want to do is remove your account from it.


You can log in to iCloud.com and set it to be erased, but you don't want to remove for your account. Otherwise the thief can just restore it and use it.


As long as you have a lock screen passcode / Touch ID / Face ID active, your data is safely encrypted and cannot be accessed.
