Apple is finally introducing Find My to South Korea in 2025. According to the company, this service will be launched at some point in the spring published by AppleInsider.
For years, South Korea has been the only country without access to Apple’s tracking network. But what has changed? Apparently, one reason for this move is the influx of user complaints. These complaints are just as valid as Apple sells AirTags in the country. Without Find My Network, AirTags are basically useless little silver discs.
Apple has not explained the reason for the sudden change of heart. according to user applicationthe company kept the feature disabled due to “internal policy”. The country has strict privacy regulations, so it may lead to the internal politics mentioned above. In the past, Apple has said that Find My is not available in South Korea because the company cannot export high-definition map data due to local laws. as reported MacRumors.
For this purpose, it is South Korea specifically protects geographic data. Related legal restrictions have long been a thorn in the side of international platforms such as Google Maps and Apple Maps, as real-time mapping data is difficult to obtain. This also affected games based on map data, e.g Pokémon Go.
However, Find My already works in remote areas of the country like Baengnyeongdo and Ulleungdo, so who knows why Find My is taking so long to reach the mainland. Either way, this is good news for South Koreans who want to keep an eye on their valuables. We hope the platform works as intended.
