    iPhone Trust hotel room in Find My until a certain date

    Does Find My have the ability to trust a location like a hotel room temporarily until a certain date? If I go on vacation and leave some of my devices in the hotel room, I get a notification on my phone or watch saying they've been left behind. I vaguely remember Find My having a feature to...

    Xiaomi Smart Tag

    Has anyone got experience of using one of the Xiaomi Smart Tags - which claim compatibility with Apple's Find My - in the real world? At £6.34 (plus vat plus shipping if order is less than £8), they appear to be very good value. For my current purposes, I'm not concerned if they are not quite...

    Universal Find My… Friends Not Updating

    Over the last week or two, Find My is not updating the location of people regularly. It’s not specific people, either. It’s everyone in my list of people. I’ll go in there, and it’ll have the last location as 22 hours ago ago or other random times. It won’t start updating their location(s) until...

    15 Pro Find My Battery Drain

    Around 10% per night goes to Find My. I have an automation that turns off AID/ turns on battery saving during the night. Yet I’m losing 10+% on Find My. Initially I thought it’s because of my AirPods staying out of the case. But it’s not, I haven’t used the AirPods last night and still lost...

    I got my stolen iPhone back today and thought sharing the story could help others in the same situation since there’s surprisingly little info on the ins and outs of how exactly Find My with a modern iPhone works. The story’s also pretty good. Ok so I went out hiking at Buttermilk Falls near a...

    iPhone SE (2020) iPhone lost for over a week

    This is not so much a question but request for advice. I lost my iPhone SE 2nd gen. last Friday. It shows up in FindMy in the same location I lost it. The battery died before I could mark it as lost, so that's still "pending" in FindMy. It hasn't appeared online since, and nobody spent the...

    Find My delays? (Feb/Mar 2023)

    Anyone else notice that Find My - on some/most devices - is very delayed? Example - from my Mac, half of my devices show last seen between 5 minutes ago and hours ago, even though they're online, right next to me. This has been occurring for at least the past month.

    Full list of every Find My network-enabled accessory

    Howdy Folks, I've been trying to find a list of every "Find My" enabled product ever since Apple started accepting third-party products to use the network. I looked far and wide for such a list but I could not find anything worthwhile. The closest I've found was a blog post claiming they have...

    AirPods Pro 2 - Find my bugged?

    I just received new pair of AirPods Pro gen 2 and they are wonderful. But I’ve noticed that for some reason when I’ve wanted to test Find My functionality it’s seems off. - First I have only “play sound” and “directions” buttons. I thought that it will also have “find nearby” function like...

    Find My location name of contact is incorrect when seeing it from Macbook pro 2020

    When I enter the "Find My" app from my Macbok Pro to see my mom's location, the tag "Home" changes to "Work" automatically (Even though she IS at home). Afterwards, the location name changes in all my devices: Mom's at "Home" but the tag says "Work". The only way to fix this is entering "Find...
