We continue the conversation about the pre-sale preparation of the iPhone. Last time we figured out how to untie the iPhone from Apple ID, and today we’ll talk about how to untie your device from iCloud cloud storage.
Unlinking an iPhone from iCloud (and from Apple ID) is necessary so that the next owner does not receive a beautiful, useless piece of iron after resetting the settings. And this can happen thanks to the Activation Lock feature introduced since iOS 7.
Activation lock - A function designed to block the iPhone in case of entering incorrect credentials after software recovery.
In simple terms, for sure, the person who bought your iPhone will want to return it to the factory settings and if the Activation Lock function was turned on and, accordingly, there was no decoupling from Apple ID and iCloud, then it won’t be able to activate it for any kind of cabbage ( although no, I’m lying, about 13 thousand rubles will be torn off in the service center for untying the iPhone 5, and even more for the “six”). So, so as not to be remembered by you in bad words, let's figure out how to untie an iPhone from iCloud.
1. Using the official website
This is probably the easiest way to untie, especially since it can be done without the device itself.
1. First off, turn off the phone or put it in airplane mode.
2. From the computer, go to www.icloud.com, enter your credentials and select find iPhone.
3. If necessary, enter the password again.
4. Click on all devicesand then on the cross.
5. Confirm the deletion.
2. Unlink from iCloud using iPhone
No less simple way, but carried out directly from the device itself.
1. Go to settings, select iCloud, scroll down and click go out (in iOS 7 and earlier versions, “Delete account”).
2. A warning appears that all the data stored in iCloud will be deleted from this iPhone, but since the phone will be owned by another owner, we need this, so press exit again.
3. Using iTunes
Using this method, you can immediately untie the iPhone from both Apple ID and iCloud. Read more in detail.
Also, before the sale itself, after untying your iPhone, it’s better to reset all the settings yourself (click “settings” then “basic” after “reset” and “erase content and settings”).
That's all, if the material turned out to be useful for you, then you can thank the author by clicking on the buttons below.
IOS software is the most popular among users of Apple products due to the introduction of the most advanced technologies and developments such as the iCloud application and others.
All apple applications are periodically updated with fresh versions containing new features and functions that allow the user to solve current issues in a mobile way, and in complete safety and without outside interference, including ensuring the safety of owners even in the event of a loss or theft of a smartphone.
Such a secure technology-based application is the iCloud cloud-free contactless data storage, which Apple developers have embedded in their equipment. Each iCloud user is registered in the system using a unified password ID-binding account owner.
When there is a need to sell an iPhone or transfer it for permanent use to another person, it is necessary to save data and untie your account from this smartphone, so that other necessary applications and programs remain available to the new owner.
The crucial role in this matter is played by the Activation Lock function developed and implemented in iPhone 7, which is provided as a way to block the iPhone in case of incorrect account entry. In active mode, this function will require linking the account of the former owner when starting the software, and if you do not know the ID number, then, alas, the iPhone will remain blocked for anyone. Leaving this binding is dangerous because the new owner, resetting the purchased device to the factory settings, will lose access to the acquired iPhone for good. Many people care about the question: how to untie the iPhone from iCloud without a password?
In order not to encounter such a problem, it is necessary to study and follow the correct steps to remove restrictions from the “Find iPhone” function and untie the device from ID. In addition, you must necessarily remove the iPhone from the icloud data warehouse.
First you need to check if the “Find iPhone” function is activated on the device, for which you need to open the “Settings” menu in the smartphone menu. Carefully read the contents of the synchronized data and find out in the bottom section “Find Phone” whether this ID Activation Lock is enabled. Or on the Internet you can find out about the status of this function, for which you can find the official iCloude.com/activationlock website from Apple and after entering the iPhone serial number correctly, the current iCloud status and activation status will be displayed on the screen.
Let's look at ways to decouple your ID from an iPhone. Among them, one can distinguish: the official path, independent paths - through the iCloud untether and using the iTunes program.
Unlinking through the official website of the company
There are two simple ways to officially unlink your device from your iCloud Apple account.
The first way: turn on the network in the iPhone, go to Settings, and then to the “iCloud” section. At the bottom of the page, find the “Delete account” item and type in the secret password for the account - the device ID binding code. After which the device will be untied from iCloud.
The second way: put the iPhone in the “airplane” mode, go to the company’s website www.iCloud.com and enter your credentials - ID record. Then find the item “Find iPhone” and follow the link “All devices”. At the bottom of the page, select the "Delete from Find iPhone" item. Device ID binding will be disabled.
Unlink iPhone 4S, iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 via iTunes
This way you can untie the iPhone and iCloud, and from Apple ID. To do this, you need to connect a PC and an iPhone to the Internet. Then you need to open the iTunes application on your computer and enter the iPhone ID data. The next step is to go to the iTunes Store app and, going down the page, we find and select the “Account” section. In this window, go to the “Device Management” item and activate the “Delete” command, and then the last “Finish” command. Your iPhone will be disconnected from your account.
To bind the new Apple ID address, you need to click on the link "Edit on appleid.apple.com" and then fill out all the information windows about your device. After that, select the function to create an ID.
It should be noted that only iPhones that are not registered as stolen in the Lost system are not blocked and are not remotely erased.
Reset iPhone
After the account is untied from your smartphone, just before the sale or transfer to the wrong hands of your smartphone, you must also erase the content and settings saved in the iPhone. To do this, go to the “Settings” menu, select the “General” section, activate the “Reset” field and finally click the “Erase content and settings” button.
If you did everything correctly, then when you turn on the iPhone, a message will appear on its screen stating that you need to bind Apple ID, and the corresponding window will open. You can untie your iPhone from iCloud without a password if the “Find iPhone” feature is disabled.
When buying a new iPhone, the user usually sells his old "apple" smartphone. After all, iOS devices are quite expensive, and it can be very helpful to make at least some money for a used device. True, before parting with the device, it must be prepared. At least before selling, you need to untie the iPhone from iСloud. Otherwise, the new owner of the smartphone may gain access to the personal information of the old owner. Yes, and cloud storage in this case will continue to be filled with unnecessary data.
You can untie an iPhone from an iclaud, provided that you have access to the device itself, as follows:
- Go to the "Settings". Then if you have a relatively new model (iPhone 5S, 6 or 7) and firmware, then tap on your own name. Otherwise, we just find and open the iCloud section.
- Next, scroll to the bottom. Click on "Exit." In iOS 7 (mainly iPhone 4 and 4s) and below, this button will be called “Delete Account”. So do not be scared and click on it.
- After the warning message appears, we respond with “Delete from iPhone”.
- Enter your Apple ID password.
In 90% of cases, this is enough for the iphone from icloud to be untied. Although sometimes something else needs to be done.
- Go to Settings. Further “Basic” - “Reset”.
- Tap on the item "Erase content and settings." Naturally, along the way, you will need to enter the unlock password and restrictions, as well as repeatedly confirm the operation “Erase iPhone”.
After that, all information from the smartphone will be deleted. The mobile phone will be as if formatted. Moreover, the new user will be able to activate the iPhone, already using his account.
