Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Regarding the find my phone app with sharing with friends, what is the significance of a light blue circle surrounding a phone location and a green blinking circle? Thanks.

The detail about these designations does not appear to be in the user guides for Find My, but it's been posted here before, including this post from an Apple Community Specialist.


The green pulsing light around the name of a contact shows that data is being sent live. A blue circle on the map indicates an approximate location of a contact.


'Live' is a feature of iOS 15.
