A new report from 9to5Mac says Apple is updating the iOS 27 Find My app with more flexible location-sharing controls and a refreshed interface that finally lines up with Apple’s broader Liquid Glass design language.
The most useful change is about timing. In iOS 27, users can set a custom duration or a specific end date for each location-sharing session. That means sharing a location no longer has to be an open-ended choice that people remember to turn off later.
For everyday iPhone users, that could be helpful in simple situations: sharing a location during a trip, while meeting someone in a busy city, during a temporary commute, or for a short family check-in. Once the chosen window ends, the sharing session can stop without extra manual work.
Apple is also adding a separate pause option for individual contacts. According to the report, users can stop sharing their location with a specific person without sending that person a notification. On the other side, the app will simply show that the location was not found.
That makes the location sharing controls a little more private and less awkward. Instead of fully removing a contact or changing broader settings, someone can temporarily pause sharing with one person when they need more space.
The visual update is smaller but still important. The iOS 27 Find My app now adopts the Liquid Glass look that was missing from the iOS 26-era version. The tab bar has been redesigned to match other Apple apps, helping Find My feel less like an older utility and more like part of the current iOS system.
Apple has also refreshed the item-tracking area with a new AirTag-style icon. It is a small interface detail, but it should make the “Items” section easier to recognize at a glance, especially for users who rely on AirTags or other Find My network accessories.
The update does not appear to radically change what Find My is for. It is still built around people, devices, and item tracking. What changes in iOS 27 is the level of control around when and how location sharing stays active.
For U.S. users who regularly share locations with family members, partners, friends, or travel companions, the new timers may be the most practical part of the update. They reduce the chance that a temporary sharing decision quietly becomes permanent.
Overall, the Liquid Glass redesign gives Find My a more current look, while the new sharing timers and pause controls make the app feel better suited to real-world privacy habits. It is a modest update, but one that could matter to people who use Find My every day.
