If nothing else, this will come in handy when you misplace something.
Apple on Wednesday announced the launch of its Find My network accessory program, which allows compatible third-party accessories to be tracked via the Find My app. The first products that work with the Find My app will include a new Chipolo item tracker, Belkin earbuds, and select VanMoof e-bikes.
The program launched without an update to the forthcoming version of iOS, and the updated Find My app with a new Items tab is available starting today on devices running iOS 14.3 and later, iPadOS 14.3 and later, and macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, following a server-side change.
Approved products will feature a “Works with Apple Find My” badge icon. Users can also locate when a Find My-enabled product has gone missing but is nearby, activating a sound on the item in an effort to pinpoint its location.
Apple is thought to be working on its own item tracking product, known as “AirTags,” and users should be able to keep an inventory of AirTags-equipped products via the Find My app. It’s unknown as to when AirTags will be announced.
If you’ve had a chance to try the new Find My feature, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
