On Monday, Apple launched a new iOS feature called Share Item Location. It's a new way to share the real-time coordinates of lost or misplaced items with third parties, including airlines. This works on accessories that support Apple's Find My feature, as well as AirTags.

As a part of the Share Item Location feature, in the 'Find My' app on Apple devices, users can generate a link to the Air Tag’s location and share that link with a third party.

The link will let passengers share their AirTag locations with more than 15 airlines, including Delta and United, to help both parties track down mishandled or delayed bags more efficiently. More airlines will sign on, over time, Apple noted.
