Apple Announces iOS 18.2's New AirTag Location Sharing Feature Coming to These 15+ Airlines

Rumor or not, here it comes. Did I not hear Google and Apple were mutually developing or had developed a shared standard for tracking these devices? I suspect predominant Android (and outdated at that) mobiles at the airport were unable to track anything let alone an Apple AirTag. Maybe not updated? Security conscious? - Egyptian mobiles there may have tracking shut off by choice or by precaution?

That's already possible, I share my AirTags with my other half and vice versa.

Yes - in “Find My” you can set sharing of any or all AirTags (and also second party AirTag compatible devices) as you wish.

Thanks guys.

The novel part of this is the expiration / temporary nature of the designation, right? Because you can already select "Trust location."

Exactly. Add an expiration date for peace of mind that you won't forget to deactivate it.
