Sometimes, just a simple settings reset can do wonders! I had a similar issue and a reset fixed everything.
What about when you no longer own the device? I tried to remove my old phone, but it just won’t budge!

That sounds frustrating! You could try the ‘Remove from Account’ option on the iCloud website.

But what if it still shows up? It’s like an unwanted ghost! Not cool, right?

Haha! That’s exactly how I feel. I’m just trying to simplify my life here!
Removing a device from Find My Device can mean losing the ability to locate it if it’s lost or stolen. Make sure that’s a risk you’re willing to take!

True, but if you don’t plan to use the device anymore, what’s the point of keeping it on? Just be careful with your decision!
Also, remember that once you remove a device, it’s no longer associated with your Apple ID. This could lead to security risks if someone else ends up with your device.

Absolutely! It’s a pretty big decision. I wonder if there are certain situations where it makes sense to remove it, though.
It’s good to consider both security and privacy aspects! Removing a device may seem straightforward, but when it’s lost or stolen, you might regret it.
Exactly! And if it has sensitive data, that’s even more reason to think twice.

Couldn’t agree more! Sometimes, removing a device feels like you’re closing the door on future chances to recover it. Better safe than sorry!
But isn’t it also a hassle keeping track of devices you no longer use? I have a clutter of old devices tied to my account!
Totally! I have a few old iPhones hanging around too. It’s bizarre to think one might show up someday! 
Just keep in mind to check if there’s any essential data on those devices before removing them. It could save you some regret later!
That’s a great point! You might find something important that you forgot was on there. Better to double check!
