Subject to approval, existing or new products can be added to the network, and approved products will carry the “Works with Apple Find My” logo to communicate their compatibility with app and network to users. Compatible products can be found in the “Items” tab of the Find My App.
Products from Belkin (SOUNDFORM Freedom True Wireless Earbuds) Chipolo (ONE Spot) and VanMoof (S3 & X3) compatible with Find My app will launch in coming weeks.

The draft specs for the chip makers will be released later in the year.
