Public demand gets Apple to finally announce Find My for South Korea


After years of being the only country that blocks Find My, Apple says it is planning to bring the service to Korea in Spring 2025.

In July 2024, complaints from users in South Korea reached a point where they were finally petitioning the government to allow Apple's Find My feature to work. Any iPhone made for sale in South Korea had Find My permanently disabled, so it wouldn't work even when the owner was in a different country. While far from confirmed, it's most likely that this policy relates to privacy and how South Korean law can be interpreted as saying all location data must be stored for six months.
