Apple Enables Find My in South Korea for iOS 18.4 Developer Beta
Apple has enabled the Find My feature in South Korea for beta testers with the release of the first developer beta of iOS 18.4. This move comes months after Apple announced its plans to introduce Find My to South Korea in spring 2025.
Background
- Initial Announcement: In September, Apple confirmed it would introduce Find My to South Korea in the spring of 2025.
- Permanent Disability: Previously, Apple devices sold in South Korea had Find My disabled due to local laws and internal company policies. The feature was only available in outlying territories such as Baekryeongdo and Ulleungdo.
- Government Petitions: In July 2024, petitions were made to the South Korean government to allow Find My to function in the country, leading to Apple's confirmation of the feature's introduction.
Current Status
- Developer Beta Testing: The Find My feature has been enabled in the developer beta of iOS 18.4, indicating that it will likely be available to the general public soon.
- Future Outlook: With the presence of Find My in the development beta, consumers can expect the feature to be officially launched for all users in South Korea in the near future.
