The tech giant said: “In the Find My app, you can turn on separation alerts for a device so you don’t accidentally leave it behind.
“You can also set Trusted Locations, which are locations where you can leave your device without receiving an alert.”
It added: “If you have an iPhone Wallet with MagSafe and Find My support, you can get an alert if it detaches from your iPhone.”
It’s easy to set up separation alerts for your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or AirPods.
You’ll need the Find My app and network turned on and to be using the latest iOS and macOS software.
Apple notes: “You can only set up a separation alert from the device sharing your location.
“You receive an alert every time the device sharing your location separates from the device you set an alert for.”
To set it up, open the Find My app and tap Devices at the bottom of the screen.
