United and Air Canada are the first airlines to adopt Apple’s “Find My Share Item Location” feature, streamlining the recovery of lost luggage. Integrated with Apple’s Find My app, the feature allows AirTag users to share secure location links with airline customer service, expediting the process.
Available with Apple’s iOS 18.2, the encrypted link expires after seven days or when the bag is returned. AirTags supplement existing tracking systems, addressing gaps where airline systems fail. Apple plans to expand the feature to nearly 20 additional airlines, enhancing travel experiences worldwide.
