IPhone Users In South Korea Create Petitions To Present Find My Application

JAKARTA After 15 years of waiting for the presence of the Find My app, iPhone users in South Korea finally made a petition. They asked Apple to present Find My in the country. Find My is a location tracking application created to facilitate the search for lost devices. The application is available across countries that are the iPhone market, but only South Korea does not have this application. In the petition, it is written that Find My is prohibited from operating by its own company. However, it is not clear what underlies this ban. As a result of the unavailability of Find My, iPhone users in South Korea suffer potential losses. "Apple device users must face potential losses if their devices are lost or stolen, and even foreigners (who buy devices overseas) cannot use Find My in Korea," the petition reads, quoted from 9to5google.

This petition filed has been signed by 6,500 people since July 22 and is expected to continue to grow. In order for the South Korean government to handle the problem, this petition must reach 50,000 signatures. Many parties suspect that Find My's non-availability occurs due to a ban from the government. However, the Korean Communications Commission (KCC) insists that no regulation prohibits or limits the location tracking feature of Apple. In comparison, the KCC explains that Android devices such as Samsung also have location tracking features. This means that this ban was made by Apple and without interference from the South Korean government.
