Apple's Find My Expansion: Why 28 Million Lost Bags Are About to Get a Lot Easier to Find

Apple recently announced that the Find My network will now be shareable with airlines, making it easier for them to help locate lost luggage. This means less stress for travelers and a smoother travel experience. As a leader in Bluetooth tracking and an Apple partner, Pebblebee is excited to see this technology expand for our customers and confident that the 'Share Item Location' feature could soon be adopted by many other industries.

No one wants to lose their luggage. Air travel can be unpredictable, with mishandled baggage costing travelers time, money, and peace of mind. In fact, each year, millions of bags are mishandled due to tight connections, incorrect handling, or simple errors, causing significant stress and inconvenience for travelers. With Apple's upcoming 'Share Item Location' feature, users can easily share the location of lost luggage tracked by Pebblebee through the Find My network. Whether choosing a Tag for its small size, a Card for long battery life, or a Clip for the built-in light, Pebblebee customers benefit from faster, more reliable item recovery.

Pioneering Smarter Travel Solutions

The new Find My feature is launching with a range of airlines including Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Turkish Airlines, United, Virgin Atlantic, and Vueling.

At Pebblebee, we're already working with the travel industry in many ways. This is just the beginning—we see a future where smarter luggage and deeper tech integrations bring even greater convenience. Travel is becoming more connected, and this move is a big win for anyone seeking reliability and peace of mind. Pebblebee is proud to be leading the way.
