This is what you do. It is covered in the support article but it isn’t titled turning off Find My.


  1. Sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.
  2. Go to Find My iPhone.
  3. Click All Devices at the top of the screen.
  4. Select the device that you want to remove from iCloud.
  5. Click Erase [device]. Select Next until the device is erased. 
  6. Click Remove from Account.


When you remove a device from your account, you will be starting all over again and you can add it back to your Apple ID when you get it back and sign in again.
