MagTag users, get ready for an exciting update! With the release of iOS 18.2, Apple’s Find My network now supports a new feature that allows you to share your MagTag's location directly with airlines. This game-changing capability makes tracking your luggage during air travel easier than ever before, ensuring you always know where your bags are, even in transit.
How the New Feature Works
The new update lets you generate a unique link through the Find My app, allowing airlines to access the location of your MagTag. This means that even if your luggage is misplaced during a flight, the airline can use the shared link to pinpoint its exact location quickly.
This new feature is designed to provide travelers with peace of mind, reducing the stress of lost or misplaced luggage. No more back-and-forth with customer service representatives; with your MagTag, you have the power to locate your belongings instantly.
Setting Up MagTag with Airlines
Here’s how you can use the new feature:
Ensure Your Device is Updated: First, make sure your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 18.2 or later.
Open the Find My App: Navigate to the "Items" tab, where your MagTag is listed.
Share Location: Select your MagTag and choose the new "Share Location with Airline" option.
Generate a Link: The app will create a secure, temporary link that you can share with the airline. This link allows them to see the real-time location of your MagTag for a limited time.
Provide the Link to the Airline: Share the link with the airline via email or their customer service portal for easy luggage tracking.
