Can I pause my location on Find My iPhone without disabling it?

Use a second Apple ID on your iPhone.

  1. Log out of iCloud on your main device for “Find My”.
  2. Create a new Apple ID, sign in only for iCloud and Find My on that same phone.
  3. Share this new account location with people instead of your real one.
  4. When you want to “pause”, log out of the new ID.

Your phone works. Find My shows last location, not live tracking.
