iPhone 12 Pro How to verify no activation lock

[donawalt]

HI, hope you all can help, I Have read so much online and with different thoughts, I am a bit confused.

I have access to someone else's iPhone that they are getting rid of. How can I be sure that the phone hs no Activation Lock? Is there any other electronic status I need to verify?

There's a section on Apple's support article that explains how to check for it.

Activation Lock for iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

Find My includes Activation Lock — a feature that's designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone or iPad if it's ever lost or stolen. Activation Lock turns on automatically when you turn on Find My on your device.

You should also verfiy that it is not Carrier locked. You can find out if your iPhone is locked by going to
Settings > General > About. If "No SIM restrictions" appears next to Carrier Lock, your iPhone is unlocked.
