Apple may update Find My to let you share locations of lost items
Apple could soon let users share the location of lost items via the Find My app with people who are not in their contacts using a link.
MacRumors spotted the updated feature in the iOS 18.2 developer beta and noted that Apple says it’s intended to help locate your lost items by sharing the location with people such as a cabdriver or an airline employee.
The Find My app on the iOS 18.2 developer beta has a new “Share Item Location” option, which gives you a shareable link to the location of the missing item. People can open the link on any device (including non-Apple devices) to try and track it. The link automatically expires after a week or when the item is back with you.
There’s also a “Share Contact Info” option that lets any phone connect with an item and open a website, which will show your phone number and email — if you’ve added those details to the item’s contact page. Seemingly, this is meant to help the person who finds the item contact you.
