How do I disable security delay on my iPhone?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17
I toggled on the Stolen Device Protection feature on my iPhone and was scared cos I couldn’t get turn it off by then I went to settings > Face ID and passcode > stolen device protection and then clicked it and was told cos I turned it on I had to wait for an hour for me to be able to turn it off and I did wait for an hour and immediately the countdown reached zero it automatically asked me for my Face ID and it turned off. So don’t be scared guys, you just have to wait for the countdown to reach zero and it will be sorted.

I already tried that it said I have to wait an hour
What happened after you waited an hour? Were you able to do it then?
I am still waiting, another 35 minutes left
Then you'll just have to wait the 35 minutes out.
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.
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.
"Face ID & Passcode" is not an available option
Any suggestions?
The same thing happens with me! I AM LITERALLY AT MY HOUSE I THINK I’M PRETTY FREAKING SAFE?! 🤨
In my colleagues case, no system notification came, next morning we tried again and it suddenly worked
Interesting.
Thanks for the follow-up.
There’s some consensus that this still-new functionally still has some “maturing” to do.
FYI.. I have not received any notification. I tried 4 or 5 times. In addition, it recognizes my face. That should immediately negate the delay. You know it's me. You just scanned my face.
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.
Why do I have to wait for an hour to make a new pass?
How can I turn off Stolen Device Protection?
