How to remove "Ready for repair" status in Find My still displaying an authorized repair

I recently took in my iPhone 14 Pro to have the battery replaced. Upon receiving it, I noticed that the repair tag would not go away in the Find My app. I asked the Geek Squad, who was the nearest authorized repair center, how to remove it. They did not know. After some research on the Apple Ask The Community I figured out what worked for me. I thought I would share with you all.


Here are the steps below:

  1. Turn OFF - Stolen Device Protection
  2. Turn OFF - Find My iPhone
  3. Turn ON - Find My iPhone
  4. Turn ON - Stolen Device Protection


Keep in mind when you turn off Stolen Device Protection, you may have a waiting period for security reasons.


I hope this helps some of you!


iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
