How to remove an AirTag, Apple Pencil Pro, or other item from Find My on iPad

You can use the Find My app to remove an AirTag, Apple Pencil Pro, or third-party item from your Apple Account so someone else can register it.

Even when the item isn’t near your device, you can remove it, though it has to be reset before anyone else can register it. Removing Apple Pencil Pro removes Find My Lock, so another Apple Account can add it. And a third-party item can be reset with the manufacturer’s instructions.
