Apple's Find My adds custom location-sharing durations in iOS update

Apple has updated Find My so users can share their iPhone location for a precise custom duration, rather than only choosing an hour, a day, or indefinitely. Users can now set sharing by days (up to 30), hours, or minutes, down to a minimum of 15 minutes, or pick an exact end date and time. Once the chosen period ends, the recipient automatically loses access to the shared location.
