How Find My Works

Apple’s Find My app allows users to locate their Apple devices. The app works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac and lets you track your missing devices even if they’re offline. If someone misplaces their Apple device, they can be located on a map. Furthermore, users can play a sound to pinpoint the location of lost devices that are nearby.

Find My Gets New Sound Alert With iOS 16 Beta 5

The sound alert played by the Find My app has been the same for many years. Prior to the iOS 16 beta 5 update, the app made radar-like sounds. With the new update, the alert sounds like a ringtone. You can check out how it sounds over at 9to5Mac. Additionally, the app gets a new Splash Screen with the latest update.
