If you are doing a trade in you need to have Find My off on the old phone that you are trading, not on your new phone.

Is my device still connected to previous owner’s Apple ID or not? I bought a used 13 pro, and during purchase it was unlocked and in the settings it was saying “Continue setting up your device” or smth like that. And I forgot to ask the seller if they turned off Find My from previous user, and bought it. I continued all the setting the iphone at home, I connected Apple ID and iCloud, AppStore, iTunes without a problem. Also turned ON the Find My using my Apple ID. I checked my iCloud if this device is visible there - YES. So, the question is: Can this iPhone in fact still be visible on previous owner’s iCloud? Can they Lock my device anytime? Or is there a possibility that my iPhone will be locked once I decide to update iOS to new version? Thank you in advance
