Brands can also add the feature to their existing product as long as they are part of the Made for iPhone (MFi) product.

To be accepted, non-Apple products must agree to the privacy protections that Apple implements on its Find My network.

Once Apple approves a product, companies can use the special “Works with Apple Find My” badge on their products.

The Apple Find My app is available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Macs. With the app, you can easily locate your missing device, play a chime, see its last location on the map, enable pairing lock, and other actions that will help you easily find it.
