I couldn’t find where to opt-out in that link, but this worked:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Navigate to Security.
  3. Select Find My Device.
  4. Toggle Find My Device to Off.

Thanks, worked for me

That would also make it impossible to find my phone when I need to… I mean I’m not surprised they tied this new feature to the one we actually need.

I use KDE Connect for a simple way to find where I’ve left my phone at home or work (it has some really handy other features too in an open source program). If you need to locate it anywhere, even if it’s in airplane mode, you’re probably going to have to sacrifice privacy for that.
