location information to Apple when your battery gets critically low.

be extremely valuable after you realize your phone is nowhere to be found.
AN ALTERNATIVE PATH

On your computer, you can quickly log into iCloud, locate your phone, or change
some basic settings. However, you cannot disable Find My iPhone permanently.
Once inside the iCloud, tap on the Setting icon and select your iPhone under My
Devices. The pop-up window lists all the connected devices and there�s a small �x�
icon when you click on your phone. You can temporarily remove your phone by
clicking on the icon, but it will reappear as soon as it connects to the internet.

Launch System Preferences on your Mac and select iCloud. Scroll down the iCloud
menu and uncheck the box in front of Find My Mac.
