need a hack to remove "find my iPhone" for security purposes.

[Golfgrl]

I have just learned from Apple that the "find my iPhone" app is a permanent app with the new software update. If I want to use iCloud yet NOT use find my iPhone for my own security issues, I can't do both. Does anyone know how to hack this so I can remove this app and go back to using iCloud only.???

Heya

I did some looking around, and take a look here

1. https/discussions.apple.com/thread/5344761?tstart=0

2. https/support.apple.com/kb/PH2702?locale=en_GB

In 1. someone mentioned "I have just upgraded to ios7 and cannot restore the backup since it says that Find my iPhone must be turned off first. However I am stuck in Connected to ITunes and cannot get into settings to turn it off"

Is that similar to your issue?
