In this email, I read that this feature has been incorporated in IOs7. Even
though, I have IOs 7.1.2, and I don't see this feature where this email say. So
it is an IOs8 or an IOs7 feature?
Thanks\

Subject: Apple releases online tool for checking Activation Lock status of iOS
devices
Apple releases online tool for checking Activation Lock status of iOS devices by MacDailyNews [cfsp
key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple recently released a tool that lets anyone check the Activation
Lock status of iOS devices," Sébastien Page reports for iDownloadBlog. "Introduced along iOS 7,
Activation Lock is a security feature that prevents anyone from erasing or activating your iOS device without
entering your Apple ID and password first. The feature must be disabled before a device is passed or sold to
another person. Failure to do so renders the device unusable for the new owner."
"With the release of this new tool, Apple wants to make the process of checking for
Activation Lock easier, and prevent people from buying a device that might have been locked
because it was lost, stolen, or simply because the previous owner forgot remove the device
from his account," Page reports. "By going to iCloud.com/ActivationLock, anyone can
enter the IMEI or Serial Number of an iOS device to check its status. If the device is locked,
a message clarifies that the current user’s Apple ID and password will be required before
anyone else can activate and use the device.
