The lowdown on Apple's Activation lock: 4 things you need to know
67% Informative
Activation Lock is available on most Apple products that support Find My.
It's enabled automatically when you set up Find My, and checks every time a device is activated or recovered.
It stops people from turning off Find My tracking, or even erasing a device.
It remains active if you perform a remote wipe via Find My (more on that later), so that's probably the first thing you should do.
If you're looking to sell an Apple device, or give it away, there's no choice but to disable it.
