Repair broken screen without erasing iPhone to disable find my iPhone? My iPhone 14 pro screen is broken, the device itself (hotspot for example) still works fine. Went to Apple today to get the screen exchanged, however they said to swap the screen the find my iPhone function needs to be deactivated. The only way to do this without a working screen is to use iCloud.com and select erase phone, which in turn deletes all data. Does someone know a way to get the screen swapped without having to intentionally wipe the phone?

Will deactivating "Find My" erase all my data in the iPhone? I was in Apple Store to change my water damaged iphone 13 mini with new one, however the employee in Apple store had adviced me to unlink my İphone without erasing the content and I had concrerns about my data privacy.The screen was damaged, with the current screen it is not possible to open the Iphone, however I was in an external repair store where I could open the iphone with External display where I could see all my data.So the memory is not damaged and all my infos are inside there.I have concerns about my data privacy.And I also suggested why do we not erase the content before deactivate the "find my " for this iphone but he insisted on that was the right way.

Unable to turn off Find My Phone I am trying to Restore my iPhone (14 18.3.1) and when I select Restore a message tells me I need to turn off Find My Phone. The Find My Phone is grayed out. I have tried the iCloud Find My but there is no "remove this device". At Screen Time everything is "allow". Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Best, David

Hi there,

Follow these steps to disable find my. You will not erase your iPhone in this process, but it is always safe to have a backup of your iPhone at hand

Open the Settings app.
Tap [your name] > Find My.
Tap Find My [Device], then tap to turn it off.
Enter your Apple ID password.
Tap Turn Off.
