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 (https://www.androidauthority.com/android-device-manager-find-my-device-789869/), Apple’s version is now a bit more sophisticated thanks to the company’s tie-up with airlines.
