Apple’s discovery My feature has finally been enabled in Korea, . This is amid years of public demand, where the country lacks the discovery network tools. The omission is especially strange when you consider that Apple sells Airtags throughout the region. Nothing found me, they are basically just ice hockey-shaped paperweights.
The company never explicitly stated why I found my access in South Korea and why it restricted my access, but it allows government access to location data. The service first appeared in beta testing for iOS 18.4, but the service is available for everyone in the country. I found that I have been operating on territories in northern South Korea for a long time, such as Baengnyeongdo and Ulleleungdo.
“Find me is an important tool that allows users to grasp the location of the most precious things, such as friends, family and personal belongings, and I’m happy to be able to introduce this feature to South Korea,” said David Dorn, senior director of Apple Service Products in a statement on the company’s local website.
As part of iOS 13, the modern iteration of Find My was launched in the United States in 2019. However, the tool actually goes back to a service called Find My iPhone, which began in 2010. Apple lets users share the location of lost items with others on the network. This is helpful when negotiating with strangers about the return of lost items.
