Agreed. Of all the messiness in iOS's settings app, it's honestly pretty easy to find the setting to turn this off (iCloud > Find My > Find My network). The Twitter thread almost reads like someone who's trying to not understand what's happening. Not to mention the fact that there's a reminder of this setting every time you turn your phone off, which can be tapped to disable this behavior.

Settings -> (Your Name/Apple ID ...) -> Find My -> Find My iPhone -> Find My Network in latest iOS.

  Does 5 levels deep count as easy to find?
  - fingerlocks 5y ago
    You can just type "Find" in the huge text field at the top to filter out settings items. I rarely drop levels deep for anything.

      I tried this and it specifically didn't work for me. I also coudln't find where it was (I was expecting in the privacy > location settings). Eventually found it, but I was surprised at how much I struggled.

    From the power off menu, it gives you a temporary off button: https://files.catbox.moe/wd48tu.png https://files.catbox.moe/wd48tu.png

      That's like someone saying that fire is hot, but you respond with you can turn down the flame on the stove. While that may be true, you've completely dodged the original question.

    Yes, because the levels are a super obvious progression unless you're being deliberately obtuse.

        A setting that you would only touch once, versus a device where you are constantly adjusting the settings. Your argument here is pathetically transparent.

        pffft. you're taking things way too seriously my friend. i don't care how often it is/is not used, 5 levels deep is deep. it's just not well designed not that it's intentionally hidden. your obtuseness to this fact is even more pathetic
        quitit 5y ago
        Pffft indeed. You seem to be the only one having trouble with it. Think about that.

    Framing it as "5 levels deep" is only a disingenuous attempt to making it sound more complicated than it really is. Who do you think you're even talking to on here?

  Alternatively: just search "find my" from the universal search menu, no need to even be inside the Settings app.

The setting to tell my phone to turn all the way off when I turn it off is in under "iCloud" settings and is called "Find my network", and that's considered "pretty easy to find"?
- avianlyric 5y ago
  No, the giant dialogue that appears when you turn off the phone, and tells you how to disable the feature is pretty easy to find.

    What did the parent poster mean when he said "it's honestly pretty easy to find the setting to turn this off (iCloud > Find My > Find My network)"? Or are you disagreeing with him that it's "pretty easy to find" in the settings?
