iOS 27 Updates Find My App with Enhanced Sharing, UI Refresh, and Apple Watch Integration
Key points
- Flexible location sharing with custom durations and individual pausing.
- Ability to hide location from specific people without alerts.
- Find My app receives Liquid Glass UI and new tab bar design.
- Cellular Apple Watch automatically shares location when away from iPhone/iPad.
Enhanced Location Sharing Controls
iOS 27 brings new location sharing capabilities to the Find My app. Users can now set custom durations for sharing their location or share until a specific date and time. A significant addition is the ability to pause location sharing with individual contacts without sending them a notification.
Previously, users could only disable location sharing for all contacts simultaneously. The new 'Hide Location' toggle on each person's card in the Find My app allows for granular control. When sharing is paused, the recipient will see a 'No Location Found' message.
User Interface Redesign
The Find My app in iOS 27 features a refreshed user interface, incorporating the Liquid Glass design. This update includes a new tab bar that aligns with the design language of other Apple applications. New iconography has also been introduced, such as an AirTag-style icon for the 'Items' tab.
The main page of the Find My app now displays more specific location information, reducing the need to tap on individual contacts to view their precise whereabouts.
Apple Watch Integration Improvements
For users with cellular Apple Watch models, location sharing will now automatically utilize the Apple Watch when the paired iPhone or iPad is not nearby. This ensures continuous location updates even when the primary device is out of range.
Additionally, the Apple Watch receives a redesigned, unified Find My app that consolidates people, items, and devices into a single interface for easier management.
