Let\u2019s look at a few ways to do it effectively.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Put your iPhone into Airplane Mode<\/h3>\n<p>Putting your iPhone into Airplane Mode is the easiest and quickest way to pause location sharing in the Find My app. When you turn on Airplane Mode, it disables all wireless connectivity, including internet connectivity on your iPhone, which is the primary requirement for the Find My app to update location.<\/p>\n<p>As you would have guessed it, there\u2019s a catch with this method: you won\u2019t be able to make or receive calls, messages, or notifications\u00a0on your iPhone when it\u2019s in Airplane Mode. However, if it\u2019s a one-off situation and you don\u2019t mind going offline, here\u2019s how to enable Airplane Mode on your iPhone:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swipe down from the top-right corner to bring up the\u00a0<strong>Control Center<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Here, tap the\u00a0<strong>Airplane Mode<\/strong> button.\n<p><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center.jpg.webp 505w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center-380x811.jpg.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center-150x320.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center.jpg\" alt=\"Putting an iPhone into Airplane Mode from the Control Center\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center.jpg 505w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center-380x811.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/enable-airplane-mode-from-control-center-150x320.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"How to pause your location on Find My iPhone\" class=\"wp-image-719780\" style=\"width: 300px;\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>If you have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/how-to-customize-ios-18-control-center\/\" title=\"Customized The Control Center\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener follow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">customized the Control Center<\/a>\u00a0and removed the connectivity tile, tap the Connectivity icon in the top-left corner to access the connectivity options, including Airplane Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once done, Find My will show your last known location as your current location to the other person.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Turn off Location Services for Find My<\/h3>\n<p>The Find My app uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/how-to-change-location-on-iphone\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener follow\" title=\"location services\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">location services<\/a> on your iPhone to track your location. Thus, disabling the location services for the\u00a0Find My\u00a0app can prevent it from tracking and sharing your location.\u00a0Here\u2019s how you can turn off location services for the Find My app on iPhone:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the\u00a0<strong>Settings<\/strong>\u00a0app and head to\u00a0<strong>Privacy &amp; Security<\/strong>\u00a0settings.<\/li>\n<li>Here, tap\u00a0<strong>Location Services<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Next, locate and tap the\u00a0<strong>Find My\u00a0<\/strong>app in the list.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the\u00a0<strong>Never<\/strong>\u00a0option.\n<p><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone.jpg.webp 1524w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-768x543.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-380x269.jpg.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-800x566.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-1160x821.jpg.webp 1160w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-150x106.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone.jpg\" alt=\"Turning off Location Services for the Find My app on an iPhone\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone.jpg 1524w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-380x269.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-800x566.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-1160x821.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.igeeksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/turn-off-the-location-services-from-find-my-app-on-iPhone-150x106.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" title=\"How to pause your location on Find My iPhone\" class=\"wp-image-719781\" style=\"width: 700px;\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Until you enable the location services again, the Find My app will show the other person your last known location as your current location.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0Stop sharing your location with a specific person\u00a0in Find My App<\/h3>\n<p>If you no longer wish to share your location with a particular person, you can easily stop doing so on the Find My app, though the person might be notified that you have stopped sharing your location with them.
