If you're planning on selling, giving away, or trading in your iPhone, or if you need to send it in for repairs, you'll need to disable the Find My iPhone feature first. Follow these steps to turn off the Find My iPhone feature:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on your name at the top of the screen.
  3. Tap on 'Find My'.
  4. Tap on 'Find My iPhone'.
  5. Toggle the switch next to 'Find My iPhone' to the off position.
  6. You will need to enter your Apple ID password to confirm that you want to turn off the Find My iPhone feature.
  7. Once you've entered your password, the Find My iPhone feature will be disabled.

Note that if you have Family Sharing set up, you may need to ask the family organizer to turn off Find My iPhone for you.
