JAKARTA After fifteen years of waiting, the Find My application for the iPhone will finally be launched in South Korea. Delivered directly by Apple, this service will launch in the spring of next year.

This is good news for iPhone users in South Korea who often lose their devices. Once this service is available, users don't need to search for devices manually because this tool will make it easier to find goods.

"Users in Korea will soon be able to use the Find My app to find Apple devices and their personal belongings, as well as find friends and family, while protecting their personal information," Apple said on the official website for Korea.

Just like Find My, which is available in several countries, this service will make it easier for users to find Apple devices or accessories such as AirTag. Find My can also be used as a tool to check locations or share locations with friends and family.

This series of features is very useful for iPhone users so that consumers in South Korea feel disadvantaged by the unavailability of this service for decades. Apparently, this service was launched thanks to a petition filed by consumers some time ago.

On July 22, iPhone users created a petition urging Apple to present the service. The petition was signed by 6,500 people within eight days. Within the petition, iPhone users stated that they must face potential losses due to the unavailable Find My app.

It is not known for certain why Apple hasn't launched this app for decades. Some users had thought that there was a legal problem, but the Korean Communications Commission (KCC) denied the allegations.

The KCC confirms that there are no regulations prohibiting or restricting location tracking devices such as Find My. Samsung also has a location tracking feature on Galaxy phones and the feature can be used in South Korea for years without any problems.
