If the second-hand iPhone you purchased has "Find My iPhone" enabled and you can't contact the previous owner, you need to bypass iCloud activation so that you can use the device normally.

Part 1. How to Unlock with iCloud DNS Bypass?

On iOS 11 and iOS 12, Apple uses the iCloud activation lock on Phone/iPad/iPod to ensure device security. When the "Find My iPhone" feature is enabled, you can lock its location and set it to drop mode if the device is dropped or stolen. Your phone will not be available, like the "bricks" in the hands of others.


Here I'll show you how to use iCloud DNS Bypass easily.


Note: Need to put a SIM card in a tray on device firstly


Step 1. On the device's screen, select country and language.


Step 2. Select Wi-Fi Settings and ensure it is not connected to the network. If connected, please select the 'i' button and tap on "Forget this Network" to disconnect.

Step 3. Tap on the 'i' button and enter a custom iCloud DNS bypass code according to the region:

USA: 104.154.51.7

Europe: 104.155.28.90

Asia: 104.155.220.58

Rest of the world: 78.100.17.60


Step 4. Hit "Back" and reconnect your iPhone/iPad to WiFi. And you'll see the iCloud bypass screen.


Step 5. Slightly scroll down to select Menu (Applications, camera, music, videos and more)


You can use DNS iCloud to bypass iCloud Activation lock, but you are not able to use the device without restrictions. Because the DNS method has many limitations, there are not many features that can be used.
