How to identify a iCloud locked device in WipeOS

Instructions and key points related to iCloud lock

"iCloud locked" refers to a security feature implemented by Apple to protect the data and privacy of iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, and Mac users. This feature is known as Activation Lock and is linked to the device's iCloud account. When an Apple device is iCloud locked, it means that the device is tied to a specific iCloud account, and to use the device, one must enter the correct Apple ID and password associated with that iCloud account.

Here's a breakdown of the key points related to iCloud lock:

  1. Activation Lock: Activation Lock is designed to prevent unauthorized use of an iOS or macOS device in case it is lost or stolen. When Activation Lock is enabled, the device requires the owner's Apple ID and password to be entered before it can be activated and used.

  2. Find My iPhone (or Find My): The iCloud lock is closely tied to the "Find My iPhone" feature. When Find My iPhone is enabled on a device, the iCloud account becomes linked to the device, and Activation Lock is activated. This makes it more challenging for someone to use or sell a lost or stolen device.

  3. Preventing Unauthorized Access: iCloud lock is a security measure to deter theft and unauthorized access to Apple devices. Even if a device is reset to factory settings, it will remain locked until the correct Apple ID and password are entered.
