You will be able to share the location of the AirTag with other people

As you may already know, Apple is currently testing iOS 18.2 in beta, an update that will be rolled out to iPhones later. And according to a report from our colleagues at MacRumors, the list of new features in this version of iOS includes a new feature for the Find My app, which allows you to get the location of lost AirTags.

In essence, this new feature will allow you to share the location of your AirTag with a third party, law enforcement, or an airline. According to MacRumors' explanations, it is possible to generate a link, which can be shared with another person so that they can access the location of the AirTag. This link is valid for one week and expires automatically when the AirTag is returned to its owner. Also, when you send a link, Locate will also let you know how many people have opened it.
