A leaked build of iOS 14 contains new notification triggers and an AR Mode for the 'Find My' app, reports 9to5Mac.
The site discovered that there is a new notification feature for location sharing in 'Find My'. The option will provide an alert when someone doesn't arrive at a specific location at the time they were scheduled to.
Find My already includes the ability to receive alerts when someone arrives at a location like school or work. The new option to receive alerts when someone doesn’t arrive at a location on time will result in fewer notifications for parents tracking kids arriving at school or partners tracking other partner’s arrival at work.
The new notification options will also let you receive an alert when a contact leaves a location before being scheduled to. For example, you could be notified if your child leaves school before class is out.
These notifications can also be created to alert contacts based on your own location and new location alerts can be customized to specific days of the week.
Additionally, the 'Find My' app gains support for augmented reality headsets via ARKit.
Users will be able to locate visually using augmented reality for more precise directions from close locations, including upcoming Apple AirTag device trackers.
