How to Remove Activation Lock Without Apple ID Without Computer

There is a computer-free approach to removing the Activation lock by using DNS (Domain Name System). But this method is tricky and typically employed on iOS 8 or earlier, as Apple might have patched security bugs in newer versions. It works by connecting the device to a specific DNS server to bypass iCloud Activation Lock verification. Although this method isn't entirely foolproof and comes with certain limitations within the system, it's worth a try if you find it inconvenient to use a computer.

Step 1. To begin with, select a language and country/region. Then connect to Wi-Fi. You'll see an Activation Lock screen.

Step 2. Go back to the Wi-Fi settings page. Tap the Home button and choose "Wi-Fi Settings". Tap the "i" icon and select "Forget this Network" to disconnect from the current Wi-Fi network.

Step 3. Next, tap on the "i" icon again and go to Configure DNS > Manual > DNS SERVERS > Add Server to input a DNS server IP address to bypass the iCloud activation lock. Choose from the following options based on your location:

• USA: 104.154.51.7
• South America: 35.199.88.219
• Europe: 104.155.28.90
• Asia: 104.155.220.58
• Australia and Oceania: 35.189.47.23
• Other continents: 78.100.17.60
