The new iOS 17.5 Beta 4 adds a new mode when we leave the phone in the technical serviceso there’s no need to deactivate the “Find My iPhone” option with all the inconvenience it brings.

If you’ve ever left your iPhone for service, One of the first things they ask you to do is to deactivate the “Find My iPhone” option. by phone. This means that you will no longer be able to search for your phone from any device using your iCloud account, and anyone could activate it using your account if they find it. In principle, this should not be a problem since your iPhone is in an authorized technical service, but there is another problem that you may not have thought of, but which has recently occurred to many users after updating to iOS 17.3.

Let’s remember that with this update a new security mechanism was added, which means that certain changes that we want to make to our phone, we have to wait a while before they take effect. One of these changes is precisely the deactivation of the “Find My iPhone” option, which causes sIf you did not remember to deactivate it, you will have to wait an hour before contacting technical support Apple Store before you can deactivate it, which is a big inconvenience.

This new “Repair Mode” option is not yet ready to use and can only be activated from the “Find” application when trying to remove the iPhone from your Apple account, but it has the disadvantage that it cannot be changed.Or it is not recommended to use this new functionality until it works as it should. Let’s remember that this is a Beta version, so it’s normal that we find things that don’t work as they should. Whoever forewarned is armed.
