Changing location sharing from iPad to iPhone when “Find My” is greyed out

I recently purchased an iPad upon setting it up. I accidentally set it to share my location from the iPad when I went to reverse this from my phone. Find My is grayed out. It tells me I need to sign in, but I don’t know where to sign into.

iPhone 15 Pro Max

If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple Account is grayed out in Settings - Apple Support


Tap your Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.


You have to change the device being used for your location on the device itself. You cannot tell it on the iPad to use the iPhone.
