What does Activation Lock mean?

Apple's anti-theft protection tied to the owner's Apple Account.

Activation Lock explained

Activation Lock is not a carrier lock. It requires the legitimate owner's account or Apple's documented recovery process and must not be bypassed.

Why this term matters

Use the exact wording shown by the phone, carrier or account. Similar terms can describe different systems, and one status should not be used to assume another.

Privacy and security

Keep account credentials, one-time codes and full device identifiers private. GetMyUnlock does not provide instructions to bypass passcodes, account authentication or anti-theft protections.
