Summary

  • iOS 27 will let users share Find My locations for custom durations—minutes, hours or days—or set an end date instead of choosing only one hour, end of day or indefinite sharing.
  • Apple is also adding a pause option that stops location sharing with specific people until the end of the day, addressing privacy gaps in the current system.
  • Apple Watch will replace its separate Find Devices, Find Items and Find People tools with one Find My app, matching the iPhone layout and adding nearby directions for lost items.
  • Precision Finding in the updated watch experience will work with supported devices including second-generation AirTags, iPhones and AirPods Pro 3.
  • The Find My changes arrive with Apple’s broader software rollout this fall, with public betas due in July ahead of the next iPhone launch.
