How can I turn off Stolen Device Protection?

In my colleagues case, no system notification came, next morning we tried again and it suddenly worked

Same for me. I want to change my password and I’ve been told twice I’m in an unfamiliar location (home??) and I have to wait an hour. I go back and it resets to another hour. Then I tried to turn off the security delay and even with Face ID and passcode I was told to wait an hour.

Same except I didn’t turn it on, it turned itself on and now won’t stay off. I can’t log into the library if I’m in bed because this thing can’t recognize my face unless I go stand in the light - so now it has woken me all the way up to stand in the light for it. Doesn’t warn you there will be a ‘security hold’ for a hour - which will now be waking me up again in an hour. I can’t trust this iPhone to do its job when it’s dark. Wretched.

Ridiculous to opt you into something like this without a warning. Wouldn't be so bad if it had accurate information about the location. I have tried this over and over and it is still enabled. Are we saying that I need to be on my phone exactly when the delay finishes to make this work?

i am facing similar problem . It says it will notify me in 59 mints but i can not see any notification post there and every time this countdown starts again.

Did you wait until you got the system notification that you “Can now turn off Stolen Device Protection” ?

(or some similar verbiage)

This will only work if security delay is not currently in progress.

also going around in circles. I had a iPhone 8 Plus before my current (14) and I think I had a better experience with that then thing. Siri even worked better. Payed 1k for a more irritating phone.

This app is mind numbing - good grief! So is the face too close one.

Security Delay in Progress

You will get a notification when the security delay ends. You will then be able to turn off the passcode.

Time Remaining

58:12

I need to turn off my stolen device part. It doesn’t recognise my face and I can’t sign in.
