If you're upgrading to a new device, trading in your existing one, or even selling it, however you'll want to make sure you completely remove it from Find my iPhone before letting it out of your possession. This ensures the new owner can't access your data and that they'll be able to link the device in question to their own iCloud account.</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to remove an iPhone, iPad, or Mac from Find My iPhone and iCloud with iCloud.com</h2> <ol><li>Put your iPhone or iPad into <strong>AirPlane mode</strong> or turn it <strong>off</strong> completely.
