“Notify When Left Behind” missing on iPhone 14 Pro

[Geckotek]

I recently upgraded from a 12 Pro (traded in) to an iPhone 14 Pro and replaced my AWS7 (which is in the Atlantic) with an AWS8.

I’ve also updated to iOS 16.0.1.

On a whim tonight I realized I hadn’t enabled Notify when left behind (also hadn’t installed Phone Buddy yet.)

When I check the iPhone in Find My, I don’t see the notify when left behind option.

Anyone else seeing this? Did they move it?

So this is a feature built into iOS now ?

Yeah, back in 15.x (forgot the specific version.)

I'm seeing the setting in Find My for my iPhone 14PM (on 16.0.1) and all my devices. Did you select your device(s) in the Find My app to open the options for each? The setting is in the Notifications section.

Does it work like PhoneBuddy ?

No idea, not familiar with that.

Ok np.

I see that option there for my AirTags.

I see that option on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Yep, exactly where I’m checking. It’s there for my AirTags, but not my iPhone.

Nowhere near as good and reliable. iOS’ baked in version is surprisingly terrible in comparison.

Like the OP I was checking this evening and this setting does not appear on my 14PM nor does it appear on my new Ultra watch. It does appear for my phone on my ipad Pro’s Find app but not on the phone itself. The phone is on 16.0.2. The screenshot below is from it. Does anyone know how to get this back?
