Hello.

Apple's support article says that you can remove the lock from iCloud.com by erasing the phone but I was wondering can you accomplish the same thing with Find My app on another i-device? Or doing it from the app doesn't have/offer step number 6?
  1. From a web browser, sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.
  2. Go to Find iPhone.
  3. Click All Devices at the top of the screen.
  4. Select the device that you want to remove from iCloud.
  5. Click Erase [device]. Select Next until the device is erased.
  6. Click Remove from Account.

Thanks!
 
No, using the Find My app to erase a device does not remove Activation Lock:

  • When you erase a device remotely using Find My, Activation Lock remains on to protect it. Your Apple ID and password are required to reactivate it.
