I can’t turn off find my iPhone at all, it just stays permanently held on , I can’t even click on the button, all calls are being forwarded too and the number you type into your keypad that worked in the past doesn’t disable it now

The other contributors have given sound advice regarding the greyed-out switch. As for the other screens, they don't mean anything- GSM shortcodes are just a quick way to display certain phone carrier settings, like call forwarding. The reason it says 'failed' is likely because carriers often have their own shortcodes for settings like these, so this display is irrelevant and has nothing to show. Regardless, call forwarding isn't a way to tap phone lines; it simply sends calls to the number and wouldn't ring on the phone forwarding the call.

If you're curious about call forwarding and shortcodes, check with your specific carrier. For example:

• Verizon uses [ *73 ], stay on the line until all the beeps play and it automatically hangs up
• T-Mobile uses [ ##004# ] to reset call forwarding settings to default

Any restrictions enabled on your iPhone, or is a profile installed and it is a managed device?
