Apple shutting down popular feature just a year after launching in major blow for iPhone users

TL;DR


1. Apple is shutting down the popular "Find My Network" feature on older iPhone models, including the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and the original iPhone SE. This feature allowed users to locate their lost or stolen devices even if they were turned off or had no cellular connection.

2. The change is due to the introduction of new security and privacy measures in iOS 16.2, which will no longer support the "Find My Network" feature on these older iPhone models. Apple has stated that this decision was made to enhance the overall security and privacy of the iOS ecosystem.

3. The removal of the "Find My Network" feature on older iPhones has been met with criticism from some users, who argue that this will make it more difficult to locate and recover their lost or stolen devices. However, Apple maintains that the new security measures are necessary to protect user data and ensure the integrity of the iOS platform.
