Apple’s Find My app utilizes the extensive Apple ecosystem, tapping into billions of Apple devices to aid users in locating and tracking items. The process is simple: add your device to the Find My app, and its location will be displayed on the app’s map. Today, Apple has officially announced an expansion in the number of items that can be tracked using the Find My app.
Previously, the app allowed tracking of up to 16 items. However, this limit has now been doubled. According to a support document from Apple, users can now track up to 32 Find My compatible items within the Find My app.
The Find My network encompasses all active Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch, and more. This encrypted network utilizes secure Bluetooth technology to relay approximate locations of nearby devices, aiding in locating lost devices even when not connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi.
Apple offers additional clarification on its support page, noting that it considers one unit of any item as one item, regardless of its generation. For instance, Apple AirPods 3rd Gen will be counted as one item, while AirPods Max and AirPods Pro will each be counted as two items. Including AirPods Pro 2nd Gen in the list results in a count of three items.
Besides Apple’s proprietary items, you can incorporate third-party Find My supported accessories, such as VenMoof’s S3 and X3 e-bikes, Belkin’s SOUNDFORM Freedom True Wireless Earbuds, and Chipolo ONE Spot Item finder.
Apple’s decision to increase the limit for tracked items via the Find My app is a positive development. While there haven’t been complaints about the previous limit of 16 items, considering the expanding Apple lineup (hello, Vision Pro), having the capacity to track up to 32 items is more than ample.
I loved even more than you will get done right here. The picture is nice, and your writing is stylish, but you seem to be rushing through it, and I think you should give it again soon. I’ll probably do that again and again if you protect this hike.
