How to disable Stolen Device Protection on my iPhone before upgrading? Instead of requiring an hour to do anything. Make the person enter the code or Face ID to turn the phone off. Otherwise the hour time limit is a pain. Went to upgrade my phone, and saw that was on. Wasn’t able to update my phone. I kind of understand the meaning behind it. However there’s got to be better ways than locking you out of your phone for an hour. I didn’t even know it was an option. So either change it, or put it all over your website. When you’re trying to upgrade your phone. To turn off SDP before going to the store. Absolutely ridiculous I had to drive there, just to leave. After having such a bad time in the store in the first place. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How do I override the Stolen Device Protection if my dad put it on there? My dad had put the Stolen Device Protection feature on my phone because I kept removing two devices that were being used to snoop around on my phone and in my privacy, but I want to change my password and add another trusted phone number. I can't do those two things because of the Stolen Device Protection feature my dad put on my phone but, I need it off so I can add the numbers and access some of my apps. I have noticed that with the Stolen Device Protection feature the apps that use my apple account cannot be used like how my Game Center is not accessible at all because of the Stolen Device Protection Feature.

How do I enable Security features on iPhone 16 Pro Max I bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB, excited about its design and security, but my phone was stolen and the thieves accessed my phone information and threatened my contacts and their relatives, what happened? How can they access your phone so easily? I had passwords so they couldn't access my apps, my photos, personal contacts, etc. but nothing stopped them. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hello Hawker48,

If you're looking to change the AppleCare+ protection to a different option they offer, then you'll need to contact either Apple Support to Apple Sales Support for help.
