Apple is working on location with a mix of “Find My Friends”, “Find My iPhone” and even a physical tracker

At the next WWDC in June, Apple should present the new features related to its next OS, includingiOS 13. On this occasion, anew appcould be seen. She would actuallymerge Find My iPhone and Find My Friends services. And in this strategy of developing geolocation tools, the Apple firm would even preparesmall trackers to attach to iCloud, and allowing you to track objects, such as keys or a wallet:

First of all, the new geolocation app, codenamed projectGreenTorch, should be available on iOS and macOS. It could arrive with the next versions of the two OS, in the fall. Apple should probably say more on the subject during the next WWDC,Guilherme Rambo post from 9to5Mac, the journalist reporting this information.

Greentorch would therefore allow, like Find My iPhone, to find a lost or stolen iOS device, but also to delete your account remotely. But the app should also include anew ability to track an Apple device remotely,even if the latter is notnot connected to the internet or cellular network. Alternatively, Greentorch would include features for locating loved ones, similar to Find My Friends.

Concerning the object tracking tracker, according to the source, it would be similar to the Bluetooth “Tile” trackers already available on the market. And in a similar way, Apple's solution will make it possible toattach a tracker to your iCloud account, offering the possibility of warning the user in the event of too great a distance between the tracker and the iPhone for example. This tracker can then be attached to valuable objects, such as car keys, a suitcase or other.

The availability of this object tracking solution made by Apple remainsunknownFor now.
