Apple Announces 'Find My' Network Availability in South Korea

With the ‌Find My‌ network enabled, users will be able to to locate their iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple devices, as well as AirTag-connected personal items and third-party ‌Find My‌ compatible trackers, while maintaining strong privacy protections.

One of the main features of the ‌Find My‌ network is its ability to pinpoint lost devices on a map, providing users with step-by-step directions to retrieve their misplaced items. The app also allows users to trigger a sound on their lost Apple devices, making it easier to locate them when in close proximity.

‌Find My‌ also lets users stay connected with friends and family by opting to share their location with specific contacts. This can be useful when meeting up in crowded areas, particularly for owners of iPhone 15 and later models who can take advantage of the Precision Finding capability to navigate directly to their friends' exact locations.

The original "‌Find My‌ iPhone" app was launched in 2009 alongside ‌iPhone‌ OS 3. "‌Find My‌ Mac" was added to OS X 10.7 Lion in 2011, while "‌Find My‌ Friends" was released in October 2011. With the release of iOS 13 and macOS 10.15 Catalina, the functionality of ‌Find My‌ ‌iPhone‌, ‌Find My‌ Mac, and ‌Find My‌ Friends was unified into the app we know today as ‌Find My‌.

Big missed opportunity here. Could have changed it to North Korea and then at the end said, “April fools”.

Why is it that some features already in use for several years only becoming available in certain countries years later?

On another note, I hate region-locking of music and other content. You have to use a VPN to access music and other content not available in your region.
Because different countries have different regulations, and Apple has to follow them.

I learned this when I landed in Seoul last year and the AirTag in my bag showed it was still at Osaka Airport. I thought Korean Air lost my bag, then it came out of the carousel.

Will it work for visitors to South Korea (ie non-South Korean nationals visiting Seoul)?
For those who have never been, most mapping services do not work (or have very limited functionality) in South Korea. While frustrating it is understandable considering they are still at war with their neighbor.

So that’s why when a family member traveled there last summer I couldn’t see where they were. I had no idea as I thought this was universal.
Maybe that is why they chose to travel to that country :rolleyes:
