We can quibble about the name-I got used to it in a hurry-but I think it’s a great step forward.īy default 1 Find My opens to much the same view as Find My Friends-the app’s People tab is selected, and the map will zoom out to show people who are near you. In iOS 13, Apple has done away with both of them, replacing them with the new Find My app. They’re apps that do basically the same thing-one for your own devices, and one for the locations of people you know. Separately, Apple created Find My iPhone, a name that kept getting worse as more Apple devices gained location-sensing technology, but an app that was essential for finding lost hardware. Though a bunch of early App Store apps tried to make it happen, it didn’t really catch on for me until Apple added the feature itself as Find My Friends. Very early on the life of the iPhone, I found myself wishing for the digital equivalent of the Marauder’s Map, so I could see the locations of my friends at a glance. Find My lets me see the locations of my friends (center, right) as well as all the devices associated with my Apple ID (left).
