This would be a great action in Apple Shortcuts. Especially, because you are able to automate when leaving specific locations now e.g. if I leave my friends house, automatically send a Check-In to my friend
Is it possible?
Love this. Very useful feature for the safety of our loved ones.
Wish it could do this automatically. Also wish for an option that I can do check in “after” I arrive instead of doing it before I start traveling. Thanks for the tips though.
That’s great info, thanks. It’d also be a great idea to allow sending these notifications to users that don’t have an iPhone: details might be less or none, but being able to send them an automated message (plain old sms) at your arrival or if delayed would be somehow “easy” to implement, making this feature way more usable (in the USA there might be so many iPhone users that the chances of requiring to send a notification to an Android user are minimal, but that’s not the case in all regions) :)
You can do that using automation in Shortcuts.
@@pavelkovar great point, thanks! I was just suggesting that they provided such feature out of the box (my guess is that most iPhone users have never even opened the shortcuts app, to be fair)
also the fact they cant even show you the battery percentage number lol
@@arkhikunhuh?
@@pavelkovar Thank you. I never knew how to use shortcuts or really even knew it was there! I went to it and set up my first shortcut to let someone know when I am home!
Please note that the Check In sender must have their Cellular data plan enabled and Location Services turned on.
You will have to use Check In Timer, not Check In Location, for those early morning walks as when leaving the house your destination will be too close and you will get an error. I had to walk 1/2 mile before I could start Check In using location.
Apple, it just 'sometimes' works...
I found a few other things in my testing:
A Check In iMessage creator can only send a message to a single person at a time
- During that time, they still can RECEIVE Check In messages from others
Multiple Check In iMessage creators can send to the SAME person during the same time period
To send a Check In iMessage to a person, they must be in your Contacts and have exchanged at least one message with you
I love this channel. I constantly send these videos to all the technically illiterate people in my life.
Great feature! However, I am regulary traveling by train where gps connection is very bad. After 15 min I get the message that it looks I am delayed, with two options: end checkin or add time. But I am on time, just gps is behind. Would be nice to have a third option like I am still on time.
Thanks for the feature..I used it for myself after a troubled situation for notifying my safety
wish that check in should be able to be sent on a apple watch, especially for kids and family members that only have a apple watch
This feature is really helpful and that explanation on video was amazing! Thank you guys.
Very well explained!
I want to disable this feature
Lease help !
Thank you
Thank you for this Step-by-Step guide. They are quite helpful, and easy to follow!
Love these videos, very informative for new features
A very useful and reassuring iOS 17 feature, thank you.
This is such a cool feature. I always forget to text people when I arrive and they think I didn't make it!
Great feature much needed to inform love one once you reach.
Great tool for the family!
Very helpful, thanks for the video
The thing I hate about this is, sometimes it won't send when I tap the button. So I press again and again thinking it's not sending.
So, it ends up send 5 or 6 all at once.
This is a wonderful safety feature. Please record a version using voiceover screen reader!
Absolute awesomeness✅
Great, thanks for the quick tutorial. Does this work in Austria too?
Great new feature love it
What about checkin for flights? Would be good to be able to check the progress of flights and get notified using this feature. I know other apps do it but would be good for native support through messages.
There’s been native support for checking flight status in Messages for a few years now! Just include the flight number in a message (like DL5132) or something like that, and it appears as a little underlined “link” you can click to see live flight status. It would be nice if they updated that feature to allow you to opt into notifications for that flight, though!
So much easier than texting someone that you got home
Great feature. Could only be improved by requesting check-in’s from friends or family members.
This is so useful
Nice feature, thanks for sharing.
Awesome thanks Apple!
Add this to the Apple Watch (with cellular), please!
excellent, thanks!
its only available person to person, yes? i tried this on family group chat but check in option is not available :( its good if its added for group chat too though..
That's correct - Check In is available between a sender and one recipient. Check out this resource for more information: support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-check-in-iphc143bb7e9/ios

Very helpful videos, thanks from Germany
ETA needs to include Cycling time
Great feature…. Can we add cycling to the modes of transport please?
Good for friends who always say they on their way😂
*Plz say to apple to give volume control on airpods 3 😤 plz*
The check-in option is not working in iOS 17 in South Korea
Cool feature Apple.
When I want to take a walk and let my flatmate know when I'll be back, I can't start Check In right from the start but have to wait until I'm a little away from home. That should be fixed with an update!
Great. Can you add cycling as another travel option?
Thanks!
My phone for some reason popped that up in a message with my dispatch. I don’t know why I just turned on my screen and it gave me a suggestion to do that and then pop that up. Don’t know why it would for my job but I deleted the check in on the message
Wonderful
Nice tool and good video. I use Apple Maps and can share my ETA with a contact. Does this really differ that much?
@Apple Support when will we get live tracking with satellite map back on txt messages?
I Love Apple
Can only be sent to one person???
When is it available in France ?
The is a great feature
I wish i can sent this to an android device too.
We need cross platform check ins next time, you know. What if there is one iPhone, one Android?
Tim Cook already provided a solution: "buy your mom an iPhone" 😅
This should be sent as an iCloud link to non-Apple users to view on the website. Safety is priority and shouldn’t be kept in the walled garden.
Can I use check in on my iwatch ultra
Why doesn't Canada have Check-In?!
I want to buy iPhone 7 can I download what up or isn’t supported
Can we attach and send contact on msgs?
Is it available in Canada?
Nice
Too bad Check-In does not include travel by bicycle.
This feature isn’t have in India, Why ?
Or just text: ”I’m here”
Respond: ”omw 5min”
Why am I not able to see checkin even after updating ios17.0.2
This feature is quite helpful especially in high risk areas. Good work Apple😊
For me, the check in doesn't ask me to add any time and adds it automatically. I wanted to try to simulate the situation where you dont respond but I could not figure out why it did not trigger any alerts even when I went off track for a long time. Check in did not ask me to add time but just added it automatically and pretended nothing is wrong... Both iPhone 14 Pros with latest iOS 17 version installed.
When you send a Check In, there’s an edit button. You can specify a period of time by clicking this button. If you don’t end the Check In before the time you set, Check In notifies your friend.

Got a subscriber or two from this video.
Is there a check In option when phone connects to a certain WIFI instead of location/timer? This would be more accurate because it would mean you are inside the house safe.

If this was available 20 year ago "127 hours" movie wouldn't exist. Cool!
Both lawyers and criminals will love this feature 😅
I love these videos, I always learn something and they're so satisfying to watch 🤌🏼
After updating my 14 pro max to iOS 17, battery health is decreasing instantly. That was ok until I use iOS 16. Can you please suggest a solution for this ?

You have to “check in” before you’ve even left for your destination? Doesn’t make much sense. Why not “check in” once you’ve arrived at your destination?

Can IPhone 8 Plus users use this feature?
Check In does require iOS 17 or later for both the sender and recipient and isn’t available in all countries or regions. To check which iPhone models are compatible with iOS 17 take a look at this page:
support.apple.com/guide/iphone/models-compatible-with-ios-17-iphe3fa5df43/ios
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our team directly using the options found here: apple.co/GetSupport
No, because it doesn't support iOS 17.
it's a nice feature...but such a shame that it can't work with other devices... not everyone owns an apple phone... so my android friends and family wont get alerted...
might as well stick to the old fashion why - just send a message that im on my way and if im late they will message or call me
Can I turn it off?
A Check In can be canceled using the steps under “Cancel a Check In” found here: apple.co/3Q4RpMS

Well, I do not see the option with iOS 17, so I am updating to iOS 17.0.2…
😏
Update: iOS 17.0.2 loaded on both iPhone and iPad Pro. Check In shows in iPhone, but NOT iPad Pro…
🙄
ok
Very useful for my toxic gf ❤
Here from a video about cheaters sweating over this new feature
😊 it’s ok I’ll use live location n whatsapp
I just send a text message.
This is great and all but sounds waaaaaay to complicated with way too many steps.
How would you optimize it?
It's just like sending an iMessage to a friend with some additional details, but it includes a useful feature of alerting them if you don't arrive on time.
Players be aware 😂
0:30. Recipient must be *deeply connected* to the Apple ecosystem, this shows how limiting this feature is. Not for safety use at all.
love how everyone has to have an iPhone for any of this to work, NO ONE I know has an iPhone but me, so all this is useless to me.
0:36 AND iPad ??? So just one device is not enough?
Your friend just needs one device. An iPhone with iOS 17, OR an iPad with iPadOS 17 OR a Mac with MacOS Sonoma
really? half of the video before any useful information. boring down
This is only useful for children. Otherwise, it’s just creepy.
So stupid you can't send it to someone on an older iOS. Should be able to make a limited version to send to Android users as well.
World worst phone for ever 😂
this is unnecessarily convoluted. friction. we'll stick with old-school messages back and forth.
