Apple's Find My Update Enhances Lost Luggage Tracking with Airlines

TL;DR
Airlines may soon find it easier to track lost luggage as Apple is reportedly testing a new feature in its iOS that allows third-party access to AirTag tracking information. This could enable airport and airline staff to locate bags in real-time, potentially improving recovery rates. The feature, currently in beta, allows users to share item locations via a link, even with non-Apple devices, although the link expires after a week or once the item is recovered. This development comes as airlines continue to struggle with high rates of mishandled baggage post-pandemic.
