Airport Luggage Rules: You can send the location of anything from the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. You can send a link to it to someone and click on that link to see where your item is on a map.
Airport Luggage Rules: Apple has added a new feature to its Find My network. Now you can easily locate lost items and get them back. Not only this, you can share the location of your AirTag or Find My Network device with companies like airlines. This feature is currently in the beta version of iOS 18.2 and will soon come as a free update for iPhone Xs and later models.
How will this feature work?
You can send the location of any item from the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. You can send its link to any person and by clicking on that link you can see on the map where your item is. The map will keep updating gradually on its own and will show when the location was updated.
More than 15 airlines will use this feature
When you find your item, the location will turn off automatically. You can also turn off the location at any time during tracking. The person with whom you share the location will have to prove his identity with his Apple account or airline email. According to reports, in the coming few months, more than 15 airlines around the world will use Apple’s “Find My” feature to find lost or delayed luggage.
Android devices also have this feature
This network uses the power of more than one billion Android devices around the world to help users find lost items or find out their location. Google’s Find My Device network also works in the same way as Apple’s Find My network.
This feature of both phones works as a crowdsourced network for billions of Android devices with online tracking support. This means that even if your lost Android smartphone or tablet is offline, you can still track its location and ring it.
