Over the years, many users have relied on My Package to track their shipments, and a significant portion of that usage has been tied to USPS tracking.
USPS has announced that its current Web Tools API will be retired on January 25, 2026. During this transition, we have been in discussions with USPS regarding access to the new USPS APIs. However, due to changes in USPS policy, this app is not permitted to access the new APIs.
As a result, the core tracking functionality—especially for USPS shipments—will no longer be available after the retirement date. Because USPS tracking is a major part of how My Package is used, continuing the service without it would significantly reduce the app’s value.
For this reason, we have decided to end the My Package service in alignment with the retirement of the current USPS API, effective January 25, 2026.
After the end of service, previously delivered items will remain available for viewing, but new package tracking will no longer function.
This was not an easy decision. My Package has existed to make package tracking simpler, and we are grateful to everyone who has used and supported the app over the years. Thank you for being part of this journey.
FAQ
Q. I purchased the app recently. Can I get a refund?
A. Refunds are handled by Apple. Please follow Apple’s support instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223
Q. Will the app stop working immediately?
A. No. The service will continue to operate until January 25, 2026, which is when the current USPS API is retired.
Q. What features will stop working after January 25, 2026?
A. Package tracking will no longer function. You will still be able to view previously delivered items.
Q. Why not keep the app running without USPS tracking?
A. A large portion of My Package usage depends on USPS tracking. Without it, the app would lose a core feature and no longer provide sufficient value as a service.
Q. Will you add support for the new USPS APIs in the future?
A. Due to current USPS policy changes, this app is not permitted to access the new USPS APIs. There are no plans to add USPS tracking after the retirement date.
Q. Will my data be deleted when the service ends?
A. We store only tracking numbers and device code on our server, and solely for the purpose of sending status change notifications. No other item information is stored.
Tracking numbers are automatically deleted from the server once an item is delivered or when it is removed from the “In Tracking” list in the app. The service ending itself does not trigger any additional deletion, because no long-term user data is stored on our servers.
All delivered items stored locally in the app will remain viewable after the end of service. App version 3.1.0 and later can export tracking numbers and histories from the Settings tab. You can also completely remove delivered items by deleting the app from your device.
