Apple's iOS 18.2 Enhances Find My App with New Sharing Features
The update allows users to temporarily share the location of lost items with anyone, including airlines, to aid in recovery.
- iOS 18.2 introduces a 'Share Item Location' feature in the Find My app, enabling users to create temporary links to share the location of lost items.
- These links can be shared with anyone, even those without Apple devices, and are accessible through a web page showing the item's last known location.
- The shared link expires after a week or when the item is returned, and users can track how many people have accessed the link.
- An additional 'Show Contact Info' option allows users to share their phone number and email, helping finders contact the item's owner.
- The update is currently in beta and is expected to be released to the public in December, along with other new features like Genmoji and ChatGPT integration.
