This new service combines SK Telecom's location verification technology, based on its telecommunications network, with Inavi Systems' advanced mapping and location analysis technologies. While maintaining the existing "Find My Friends" service's lost phone location feature, it enhances user convenience by strengthening real-time location confirmation, map-based visualization, and safety management functions.


Notably, the service integrates location sharing and safety management into a single offering. Inavi Systems provides key features such as: ▲safe zone setting and exit alerts ▲arrival and movement status notifications ▲home arrival monitoring. Based on user consent, it ensures stable location tracking even if the app is deleted or the device is changed.


The service is provided through SK Telecom's "Find My Friends" app. By combining map-based location analysis and user experience (UX), it has been implemented in a more advanced form compared to previous offerings.


With this launch, the two companies have expanded support to iPhone users by releasing a new iOS-based "Find My Friends" app. The service is available across major smartphone platforms, including Android.


Through this collaboration, the companies plan to introduce services that combine telecommunications and mapping technologies and gradually expand the utilization of location data-based services. They are also exploring the possibility of further advancement by integrating AI technology and high-precision maps, enabling features such as risk detection through movement pattern analysis, personalized services based on users' daily activity range, and indoor map connectivity.



An Inavi Systems representative stated, "By combining SK Telecom's reliable telecommunications-based location information with our precision mapping technology, we are now able to provide users with even more trustworthy location-based services. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our business domain with a variety of services utilizing location data, and ultimately aim to become the leading platform for location-based daily safety through integration with AI."
