Out of curiosity can KDE Connect act as a Find My alternative?
I'm not sure, because I don't really know, what Find My can do (I think it's an Apple app, right?) What you can do with KDE Connect is make your phone ring to locate it. You can't access the phones location. I hope that was remotely helpful.
That was funny ๐
I wish I could take credit, but I'm afraid I actually did not intend this pun. Thanks for pointing it out though, it really is funny.
Sadly not as AFAIK you need to be connected to the same network as the device (at least on iOS)
I wonder if both devices were on the same tailacale network if this may work.
You can make your phone ring, but connect works over wifi, you have to be on the same LAN for the connection between devices to work.
