Find My

Find My is an asset tracking service made by Apple Inc.[1] that enables users to track the location of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, tvOS devices, AirPods, AirTags, and a number of supported third-party accessories through a connected iCloud account.

Lost mode also allows a user to leave a message and contact information on the lock screen of the device.

[19] To be eligible to claim on a stolen or lost iPhone when covered with AppleCare+ with theft and loss coverage, Find My must be active on the user's device.

[21] If something is lost but out of Bluetooth range, the app will display the last known location until another iOS, iPadOS, or macOS device is nearby.

AirTags also use ultra-wideband technology to find lost items (if the Apple device used for searching supports it).

Several safety features mean a user shares their location only with people they choose and can revoke permission at any time.

[23] In an attempt to prevent stalking Apple has introduced notifications which alert users if they are being followed by an unknown device.
