Apple Watch Gains Unified Find My App in watchOS 27 as Location Sharing Switches Automatically

Summary
watchOS 27 folds Apple Watch’s three separate Find Devices, Find Items and Find People apps into one map-centric Find My app.
iOS 27 also changes location sharing by automatically using the Apple Watch’s location when the paired iPhone is left at home, giving contacts a more accurate live position.
Precision Finding now works from the watch for newer devices including iPhones, AirPods Pro 3 and second-generation AirTags.
The update supports both cellular and GPS-only models, including Series 9 through Series 12, SE 3 and Ultra 2 through Ultra 4.
