Mystery Surrounds Apple's Decision to Block Find My in South Korea

A petition in South Korea has gathered over 6,500 signatures calling on Apple to enable the Find My app, which is currently unavailable in the country despite being accessible everywhere else globally. The petition argues that this 15-year-old restriction causes users potential damages when devices are lost or stolen. Contrary to common belief, the South Korean government has not imposed a ban on the feature; the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) confirmed that there are no regulations restricting location-based services like Find My in Korea, and similar Android services function without issues. Apple has not provided clear reasons for the restriction, stating only that regional requirements influence its decisions. The KCC's stance suggests that Apple voluntarily chose to withhold the feature.
