Apple Adds Custom Location Sharing to Find My in iOS 27 as UI Shows Exact Streets

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 12

Summary

  • iOS 27 lets Find My users share location for a custom duration or until a set date and time, adding more granular control over who can see them and for how long.
  • A new Hide Location toggle can pause, stop or resume sharing with individual people without sending any notification; the other person instead sees a "No Location Found" message.
  • Find My also gets a Liquid Glass refresh with a redesigned tab bar, new iconography and more detailed location data on the main screen, including the exact street without opening each contact.
  • Apple highlighted the changes during WWDC as part of broader iOS 27 updates across core apps including Messages, Apple Music and Wallet.
