  • Apple’s new “Share Item Location” feature in iOS 18.2 allows iPhone users to securely share the real-time location of lost items (like AirTags) with third parties, including airlines.
  • The feature is integrated into Apple’s Find My network and is now rolling out as part of the iOS 18.2 public beta.
  • Android currently lacks a similar feature, making its Find My Device network less capable than Apple’s version.

Apple is rolling out a new update to its Find My network, making it easier for iPhone users to track down lost items. While Android users have access to a similar feature on Google’s Find My Device network, Apple’s version is now a bit more sophisticated thanks to the company’s tie-up with airlines.
