Apple today launched a new page on their website that will serve as a portal to disable ‘Activation Lock’. The page contains details on how users can disable the Activation Lock security feature on their iPhone, iPad as well as iPod touch. This page contains a link to start the Activation Lock Support Request process in the United States. This means that users do not have to call Apple Support drivers by phone, email, or online chat to begin the process. Let’s look at more details on the portal and how you can use it.
Apple launches new portal to unlock activation lock on iPhone and iPad – no need to call Apple’s support, email or chat with representatives
As mentioned earlier, Apple today launched a new self-service portal that deals with the removal of Activation Lock on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. You can simply add the necessary details and request Apple to remove the Activation Lock of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch directly from the company’s website.
Note that there are some prerequisites that you need to know. For example, you must be the owner of the device, the device must not be in lost mode or managed by a third party institution such as an enterprise. If you meet these points, you can proceed with the process of uninstalling the Activation Lock on your iPhone or iPad.
You will also be asked to enter your valid email address and serial number of the device. You will be given a form to fill out with which you can prove ownership of the device. You need the date of purchase of the device, the place where it was purchased, and the receipt of the purchase if you have it. The information provided will be used by Apple or an Apple affiliate to complete the process and remove the Activation Lock on your iPhone or iPad.
Once you have submitted the support request, the company will review the request and update the users by email. A support number will also be generated for reference. One thing to note here is that once Apple has removed the Activation Lock on your iPhone or iPad, all your data will be permanently deleted. It will henceforth be wise to back up your device before starting the process.
That’s all there is to it, people. Do you have an iPhone or iPad with an activation lock? Would you prefer this method? Let us know in the comments.
