Now it says iPhone is only partially supported, that's fine, let's proceed. The device will be put into recovery mode first, press next to confirm. Once in, press start, then quickly follow the instructions to put your iPhone into DFU mode before the countdown is over. For iPhone 10, is press and hold the side and volume down button for 4 seconds, Then release the side button but continue holding the volume down for another 10 seconds.

This time you’ll get through to the device information screen, below it is a start remove button. Go ahead and click on it, 4MeKey will do the trick for you in a minute. Just like this. Now let’s get back to the iPhone and check it out. When we see the data and privacy option, we know the Find my iPhone service has been removed. Let's move on, Make sure not to create passcode, Touch ID and Face ID. And skip signing in your own Apple iD when you got here, then you can proceed to the home screen. Then in Settings, we should notice the Apple account has been signed out, which means Find my iPhone is disabled too. That's it! Thanks for watching. See you in the next video.
