United Airlines will integrate Apple's Share Item Location feature into its mobile app

United Airlines is integrating Apple's Share Item Location feature into its mobile app, making it easier to track down lost baggage equipped with AirTags.

If a traveler isn't using the United app and their bag takes a detour, they will receive a text notification from the airline prompting them to submit a Share Item Location report. When the resource was initially introduced in the public beta, air transport tech company SITA said that it would use the feature in its WorldTracer system for tracking airline baggage, so this isn't the first time travel brands are realizing the potential of Share Item Location.
