Apple today introduced the updated Find My app, allowing third-party products to use the private and secure finding capabilities of Apple\u2019s Find My network, which comprises hundreds of millions of Apple devices. The Find My network accessory program opens up the vast and global Find My network to third-party device manufacturers to build products utilizing the service, so their customers can use the Find My app to locate and keep track of the important items in their lives. New products that work with the Find My app from Belkin, Chipolo, and VanMoof will be available beginning next week.\u201cFor more than a decade, our customers have relied on Find My to locate their missing or stolen Apple devices, all while protecting their privacy,\u201d said Bob Borchers, Apple\u2019s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. \u201cNow we\u2019re bringing the powerful finding capabilities of Find My, one of our most popular services, to more people with the Find My network accessory program. We\u2019re thrilled to see how Belkin, Chipolo, and VanMoof are utilizing this technology, and can\u2019t wait to see what other partners create.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Find My Network Accessory Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Part of the Made for iPhone (MFi) Program, the Find My network accessory program is designed for any accessory developer looking to connect an existing or new product to the Find My network. Third-party products must adhere to all the privacy protections of the Find My network that Apple customers rely on. Approved products can be added to the new Items tab and will feature a \u201cWorks with Apple Find My\u201d badge to clearly communicate to users that the product is compatible with the Find My network and the Find My app.1<\/sup>Today Apple is also announcing a draft specification for chipset manufacturers that will be released later this spring. With this, third-party device makers will be able to take advantage of Ultra Wideband technology in U1-equipped Apple devices, creating a more precise, directionally aware experience when nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
