The benefits of participating in Apple’s Find My network are limitless if you’re an AirTag user or just someone who can help you find an item – you can make a stranger’s week by simply tapping your phone with AirTag and helping them find a lost item.
But what if you decide you don’t want to participate? You may not need an AirTag yourself, or you may just be worried about your privacy.
How do you opt out of Apple’s Find My network?
- Go to settings
- Tap your Apple ID
- Tap Find My
- Tap Search my iPhone
- Toggle Scan for network off.
It’s that simple! However, keep in mind that you will lose all the benefits of the Find My network. You will not find devices that are turned off or not connected to a cellular network or Bluetooth.
You can arrange for the person to collect their item, or you can send it to them if you feel safer.
Do not forget it iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch also take advantage of the “Find Me” app and the web. If one day you are at the other end of it and you lose one of your devices or AirTaged products, you may want to have opted instead of being away. Besides, why not help a stranger!
At the end of the day, you can use your devices the way you want, not the way you want to. Whatever you decide to do, make sure your safety comes first.
