Disable iCloud & Find My iPhone

When factory resetting your iPhone, it’s critical that you disable iCloud and Find My iPhone. In iOS 7 and up, a security feature called Activation Lock requires you to enter the Apple ID used to set up the phone if you want to reset it. This feature has reduced iPhone thefts since it makes a stolen iPhone hard to use. But if you don’t disable Activation Lock, the next person who gets your iPhone—either a buyer or repair person—won’t be able to use it.

Activation Lock is disabled when you turn off iCloud/Find My iPhone. Here’s what to do:

How to Make Google Auto-Delete Your Web and Location History

Google collects and remembers information about your activity, including your web, search, and location history. Google now auto-deletes history for new users after 18 months, but it will remember history forever if you previously enabled this feature with the default options. As an existing user, to make Google delete your data after 18 months, you’ll have to go into your activity settings and change this option. You can also tell Google to auto-delete activity after three months or stop activity collection entirely.

To find these options, head to the Activity Controls page and sign in with your Google account if you aren’t already signed in. Click the “Auto-delete” option under Web & App Activity.
