How to Pause Location on Find My iPhone

Date:

If you’re like me, you’ve probably lost your iPhone a few times. And if you’re really like me, you’ve lost it in some really embarrassing places. But don’t worry, there’s a way to pause your location on Find My iPhone so that nobody can see where you last left it.

How to Pause Location on Find My iPhone

If you’re using Find My iPhone and you want to temporarily pause location tracking, there are a few different ways you can do it. One way is to simply turn off the Location Services setting on your device. This will disable all location-related features on your iPhone, including Find My iPhone. If you want to keep using other location services, like Maps, while still pausing Find My iPhone, you can also go into the Find My iPhone settings and turn off the “Send Last Location” feature. This will prevent your device from sending its location to Apple when the battery is low, but won’t affect other location-based features. Finally, if you want to stop sharing your location with a specific person or family member, you can go into the “People” tab in the Find My iPhone app and remove that person from your list.
