Hey there! Pausing your location on Find My iPhone is actually pretty straightforward and can be helpful when you just need a little privacy. There are a few ways to do it, depending on how long you want your location paused and who you’re hoping to pause it for.

Turn off Share My Location: The quickest way is to open the Find My app, go to “Me” at the bottom, and toggle off “Share My Location.” This pauses your location sharing for everyone on Find My, but it can be a little blunt if you’re trying not to alert people that you’ve stopped sharing. I usually use this when I know I’ll be on the move and don’t want my location tracked, but I make sure to let people know first!

Enable Airplane Mode: This can be a good option if you want a temporary “off-the-grid” solution. Just switch on Airplane Mode from Control Center, and your location will freeze on Find My until you turn it back off. The only downside is you won’t get any cellular or Wi-Fi service, so it’s not ideal for long periods.

Disable Location Services for Find My: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and turn off Location Services for Find My. Just keep in mind that doing this will completely stop Find My from tracking your device. I found this useful when I was out of town and didn’t want people constantly checking in on where I was.

One extra tip: if you only want to pause your location for specific people, you can actually remove them from your list in the Find My app temporarily, then re-add them when you’re ready. It’s a bit tedious, but it works if you’re just trying to keep certain people from seeing you for a bit.
