The latest iOS 18.2 feature introduced a massive upgrade for the AirTags, Cupertino's take on Bluetooth trackers, with the 'Share item Location' tool that will allow users to give third parties access to their lost items. Instead of only the owner having access to tracking a said AirTag, they may now give it to concerned third parties like airline companies to help them improve their search.
With this new feature, users may expand their search for their lost items, including their luggage, especially for those that were delayed, to be easily located by companies, with many airlines now supporting the feature.
Users may now enjoy the expanded feature of the AirTags with the 'Share item Location' capabilities that offer third-party services or companies access to the tracking capabilities that are usually enjoyed by owners. Through the feature, users may share the location tracking capabilities for their lost items that have the AirTags attached to them, or other items or devices classified as Find My network accessories.
More recently, Apple also partnered with airlines to support this third-party location-sharing feature according to 9to5Mac, and it has recently seen massive support from the industry to adopt the feature.
Users may share the link to their lost items with third-party supporters, and they only need to go to the Find My app to get the shareable link. It will also give users and those who have the link updates with timestamps on the recent updates.
