Apple Starts Certification of Third-Party Search Accessories for Find My


Apple announced Find My Certification Asst, an application that will allow third-party companies to test the compatibility of their accessories with the Locator system. The new program appeared in the App Store on April 4, 2021, but it is still at the testing stage. The app is not ranked in any of the store’s categories, and at the moment it has no ratings or reviews. Information about this was reported in the Internet portal TechCrunch.

Find My is a system that helps users find their lost Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The launch of the test application indicates that the American company is ready to provide access to it for third-party devices in the near future. In addition, the beta version of iOS 14.5 confirms these intentions. In the updated operating system, a tab has been added to the “Locator” for tracking third-party accessories.

However, Tile, a well-known manufacturer of trackers, believes Apple is putting them at a disadvantage. After all, now third-party companies will have to abandon their tracking systems, as Locator expands its functionality. This means that Apple can only require its customers to use its application. The American company did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment on the launch of the new program.
