GoKawiiliOS 27 update adds silent location-hiding and redesign to Find My app
Apple's iOS 27 update adds new sharing controls to the Find My app, letting users set custom time limits for location sharing or hide their location from individual contacts without triggering a notification. The app also gets a Liquid Glass redesign with a new tab bar, more detailed location info on the main screen, and updated icons, plus changes for cellular Apple Watch users sharing location.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The ability to quietly pause location sharing with one person, rather than everyone, gives users finer-grained privacy control that previously required an all-or-nothing toggle. The redesign brings Find My in line with the Liquid Glass visual language already applied elsewhere in iOS 26, suggesting Apple is finishing a broader interface overhaul it didn't complete last year.
- Users can now hide their location from specific people in Find My without sending them a notification.
- Location sharing can be set for a custom duration or until a specific date and time.
- Find My gains a Liquid Glass redesign, clearer location details on the main screen, and new icons.
