Apple’s first iOS 27 developer beta, released on Monday, includes a new feature in the Find My app that lets you temporarily hide your location from select people.
A new “Hide Location” option appears in the user’s Find My card in the People section, under “My Location.” Tapping it hides your location temporarily for 12 hours before reverting to your previous shared location state. When enabled, the option switches to “Unhide Location.”
As it currently works, enabling the feature doesn’t appear to notify the person that you are hiding your location from them – your Find My card simply registers “No Location Found” on their device.
