Apple Find My network now allows up to 32 devices

Apple has quietly increased the number of items users can track using the Find My app. The company has increased the limit from 16 to 32 as of iOS 16. This change was first spotted by X user Nicolas Alveraz (@nicolas09F9) in an Apple support document. The user, however, noted in his post that the Find My configuration file from the server still says “MaxPairEligibleDevices”: 16,” which he said is “strange.” In other words, the maximum limit in the configuration file is still 16, but Apple will likely make the changes in the next software update.

The updated limit includes a broader range of devices than before, such as AirTags, Apple headphones (including some Beats models), newer MagSafe wallets, and even third-party Find My network accessories like e-bikes.

“You can add up to 32 items in Find My. In addition to AirTag and the third-party Find My network accessories in the Items tab, AirPods Max count as one item, AirPods and AirPods Pro (1st generation) count as two items, and AirPods Pro (2nd generation) count as three items,” Apple wrote in a support document.

The increased limit will appease users who often maxed out on the previous limit of 16 items, especially after Apple launched the AirTags and the ability of Find My network to track third-party devices.

Meanwhile, Apple Arcade has added three new gaming titles and said that it will launch more than 20 major updates to popular games this month. The new titles are Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom, Cornsweeper, and Blackjack by MobilityWare+. “In addition to these new games, fan-favourite titles are launching brand-new content this month. The 2023 App Store Award winner Hello Kitty Island Adventure welcomes the Year of the Dragon with its Luck & Lanterns Celebration on January 19,” Apple said.
