The AirTag is an almost imperative device for the most distracted people accustomed to misplacing their belongings. The Apple accessory allows you to easily find your bag or wallet thanks to its geolocation. Unfortunately, the device regularly finds itself at the heart of sordid affairs. Many criminals have already used the AirTag to track people against their will.The second developer beta of iOS 18.2published this week will not provide a miracle solution to this problem.However, a new option will increase your chances of finding a lost or stolen item.
iOS 18.2 allows you to share the location of an AirTag with a loved one
The second developer beta of iOS 18.2 allows a user toshare the location of an AirTag with a “trusted person” from Find My.Thanks to a link, it will be able to obtain the geolocation of your device. This link can be opened on any browser on a Mac as well as on a PC, an iPhone or an Android smartphone.
The chosen contact may also see the owner's email address and phone number appear on this page. Allowing access to your contact details when sharing the location of an AirTag simply makes it easier to be contacted by the person you trust.
Please note that this functionality is primarily designed to find lost objects. In fact, the link sent to the trusted persononly remains valid for one week and will be deactivated if the owner finds their property.Please note, for the maneuver to work, your contact must absolutely have an Apple account.
This new feature should make the task of thieves a little more difficult and give you more chances of finding an item in the event of theft or loss.
