The Find My iPhone iOS app has just been given an update, adding two new features to its previous offerings. According to the release notes for the update, if the iPhone you are trying to find is offline, you will now receive an email once it comes back online and is located. And you are now able to remove an offline device from the list within the app.

As we mentioned yesterday with the release of iOS 4.2, Find My iPhone—the service Apple provides to MobileMe members to find their phone were it lost or stolen—is now available to anyone with an iPhone running iOS 4.2. This service is great in that it allows you to remotely swipe and lock your phone, as well as send messages to it via the web. So, how do you get it? Instructions past the break.

Everyone wants an iPhone and an iPad. But not everyone wants to pay for them. Apple, of course, built the ability to track your iPhone/iPad into its Mobile me service, allowing you to locate it via GPS, send text messages in the hopes that some honest soul would return it, and lock the device or even wipe all the information from it if it wasn’t returned. Apple has now released Find My iPhone for its iDevice series, which allows you to access the security functions from any other compatible device (iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad).

Apple revealed several new features of iPhone OS 3.0 at WWDC today. One of these features is “Find My iPhone,” and it is only available to Mobile Me subscribers. However, the Mobile Me page includes a few other “Coming Soon” features that didn’t make it into the Keynote.

Hidden within the options menu for MobileMe in the iPhone’s settings, there’s a new option that’s appeared in the 3.0 beta. Named “Find My iPhone,” I’m sure you can guess it’s primary use. It would appear that Apple will offer a service to MobileMe customers allowing them, if this setting is activated, to request the location of their iPhone—whether because they’ve lost it, or it’s been stolen.
