How do I approve my phone on another device signed into iCloud?

What are we doing wrong. I have no idea where to "Approve This iPhone"

Do we have to buy another Apple device to make this work?

My iPhone keeps telling me. "Approve this iPhone" Go to other devices signed in to iCloud to approve this iPhone.

But i cant find anywhere in my other devices to do this. What do I need to do next?

See directly above your post.

How do I get my iPhone approved in iCloud?

I need to get my new iPhone approved on icloud what do I do?

This was the most helpful! Thanks

Did you lose any data, pics, health info, etc?

You should not have to sign in to anything the approval message should be apparent on one of your trusted devices.

I have an Iphone XR need to approve it in another divice, how canI do it?

The Approval option comes up on the device where you are signed in. Where are you signing into iCloud on your PC? Via iCloud.com, or via the iCloud for Windows app?

Try signing into iCloud.com. Then go back to your device, and go through the steps you have followed above to see if you get an "Allow" pop-up on the iCloud.com site on your PC.

I’ve done that. Multiple times. I work in tech and know how things work but I am not getting any notification on either device where I can click approve. But yes, I’ve sent request for approval from iPhone, logged into iCloud through browser on a Windows PC and get nothing popping up. Help!!! Or fix it. Please.

still tryin to approve my device no freaking luck. they say apple phones are the best finding out now that they are not. can’t just download ringtones like wit samsung, everything is a freakin passcode n passwords

a simple task to approve my device following the instructions that are not correct is frustrating

make ur sh*t better for the price you all want to sell it for

I have NOT entered the security code too many times. I have moved past that step. After I enter the security code correctly it says I need to sign into another device to approve the phone. I have signed into the icloud account on my ipad and on the desktop. There is no place or instruction to approve the device?!?!?!?!?!

I've been on the phone for a total of 4 hours dealing with this and I have more than one iPhone that I haven't had this problem with?!?!?!?

Hi Gail from Maine,

Thank you I have a follow up question i hope you can help me with please.

When selecting "Reset Protected Data", do we also lose any i-cloud data we might have?

One senior Apple advisor said yes, and another said no. I'm so confused, and really concerned about losing all of my i-cloud data, i-cloud text messages etc.

Do you have any thoughts please?

Thanks again,

KK
