  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.
