Find My lets you view the location of your Apple devices, locate items you’ve attached AirTag to, keep track of Find My network accessories, and share your location with friends and family in a single, easy-to-use app. Features View the location of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, AirPods, devices in your Family Sharing group, AirTag, or Find My network accessories on a map, and get directions to their locations in Apple Maps. When you can’t find your nearby device, AirTag, or Find My network accessory, play a sound to pinpoint its location. Get the distance and direction to your AirTag or AirPods Pro 2 with Precision Finding. Keep track of personal items with AirTag and Find My network accessories and share these items with up to five other people. Everyone in the group can use Precision Finding to pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when nearby. If your missing device, AirTag, or compatible third-party accessory isn’t nearby, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network. It’s all anonymous and encrypted to protect everyone’s privacy. If you lose an item, you can temporarily share its location with others — including airlines — to help you find it. Simply share item location in the Find My app. Sharing automatically stops when you are reunited with your item and expires after seven days. Share Item Location recipients can open shared links directly in the Find My app to play sound and, on supported devices, use Precision Finding to location lost items when nearby. Put your Apple devices in lost mode to lock the screen and display a message, or erase them remotely to protect your data. AirTag and Find My network accessories can also display your contact information to anyone who finds them. Use the People tab to share location with friends and family so you can keep in touch, coordinate, or know when a family member has arrived home safely. You now have a new option to share location for a custom duration — either for a number of minutes, hours, or days — or set a date and time for when sharing will stop. This makes it easy to share location while attending an event, or for a long weekend getaway. You can also pause location sharing until the end of the day for specific people, so you can shop for an anniversary present or show up for a surprise party without spoiling the reveal. If you’re on an adventure without cell service or Wi‑Fi, you can use Find My on iPhone 14 or later to share your location over satellite. On Apple Watch, a new unified Find My app replaces the Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People apps. The new Apple Watch app’s map-centric user interface makes it even easier to locate friends and family, devices, and items. The Find My app offers access to key actions, including getting directions, finding devices and items when nearby, prompting a device to play a sound, or viewing contact information. You can now also use Precision Finding in the Find My app to help locate your paired iPhone or AirTag (2nd generation). Some features are not available in all countries or regions.
