How to remove activation lock from its owner?

The prompt says, the location of this iphone can be seen by its owner j*****@icloud.com. I am the owner of the iphone and it’s my apple id. How do I unlock it?


I have two iphones. Iphone 7 and Iphone XS Max. I am using one icloud account for both.

Is that your email address it's displaying? If so -

If that is not your email it's displaying -

Activation lock is a security protocol that can't be bypassed. Only the person it is locked to can unlock it.

If you bought this from someone and it came locked, try to get your money back, you will never be able to use the phone.

Seems the IPhone is in lost mode.


Use Lost Mode in Find Devices on iCloud.com - Apple Support (includes how to turn off)


If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


If you didn’t enable that on this iPhone, your Apple ID may be compromised.
