iOS 18.2 update: Apple adds new Find My feature to help recover lost items easily. Here’s how it works


Apple rolled out the much awaited iOS 18.2 update this week bringing the second iteration of its artificial intelligence features (dubbed Apple Intelligence) to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 lineup. While many popular features like ChatGPT integration with Siri, Genmoji and Visual Intelligence have been much touted, one key feature about the latest update has gone a bit under radar.

iOS 18.2 has provided a major upgrade to Find My that allows users to share the location of their lost items, making it easier to get help finding them. Users can generate a link for their lost item in the Find My app by selecting “Share Item Location” and share the links with their friends or authorities. Importantly, the recipient can access the location of the lost item even if they are not using an Apple device.

The shared link automatically expires after one week or when the item is found. In addition, a new “Show Contact Info” option in the Find My application, when enabled, takes the recipient to a web page that displays the owner’s contact information, including phone number and email address.

iOS 18.2 eligible devices:

iOS 18.2 update is available to all devices that support iOS 18. However, Apple Intelligence features will only be available to the latest iPhone 16 series and the iPhone 15 Pro lineup from last year.

Here’s a complete list of all devices that will get the iOS 18.2 update:
