iOS 15: the Find My app is getting better

WWDC 2021 started strong yesterday with the traditional Keynote. On this occasion, Apple revealed to the general public the specifics of its upcoming operating systems. Regarding iOS 15, the contributions are very numerous and we are thinking in particular ofl’option Focuswhich should help you concentrate better thanks to a revised notification system.

Exceptions are planned to avoid receiving too many alerts

The Cupertino company has also improved its Find My app. Thus, a new separation alert system is appearing and will notify you if you lose a device. It may be an object connected to an AirTag or compatible with the application.

The apple brand specifies as follows:

Enable separation alerts, and if you leave behind a compatible device, AirTag, or third-party item, your iPhone will notify you with notifications and Find My will tell you how to find your item.

To make this new feature work, you will first need to activate the “Notification if forgotten” option, which will allow you to be notified when it is out of range. To avoid receiving unwanted alerts, you can also define exceptions, particularly if the object is in your home.

Note that Apple specifies that it will also be possible to locate devices even after they have been turned off. This is particularly useful in the event that the latter has been stolen, deactivated, or if it no longer has batteries.

Still in the event of theft, the Cupertino company claims that the Find My network will be able to locate a device, even after it has been deleted. This should deter stolen item buyers from owning a device that remains locked to your Apple ID.
