iOS 18.2 introduced a new feature for AirTag and other items in the Find My app, and it may just save you a lot of stress and trouble the next time you lose something important.
Apple’s Find My app now offers a feature called Share Item Location, which works with AirTag and other compatible items.
Find My already offered a Share Item feature, but that was intended for persistent sharing of an AirTag with a close family member or friend. Share Item adds the item to a contact’s own Find My app so you both can track its location any time.
Share Item Location, however, differs in that’s it’s designed to be temporary and used only when an item is lost.

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok owner ByteDance’s appeal of a law that could ban the app. The court took up the case (via NBC News) unusually quickly — only two days after the company filed its appeal. Oral arguments are scheduled for January 10.
The law being challenged, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, is set to go into effect on January 19, the day before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The court didn’t provisionally block the law when saying it would take up the case.

Now with 25 million users, Bluesky is facing a test that will determine whether or not its platform will still be seen as a safe space and place of refuge from the toxicity of X. In recent days, a large number of users on Bluesky have been urging the company to ban one newcomer for his opinions and works shared both on and off the platform.
Writer and podcast host Jesse Singal joined Bluesky 12 days ago to the horror of much of the Bluesky community. Singal has been cataloged by GLAAD’s Accountability Project for his writings on transgender issues and other matters. The GLAAD project “catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence, and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.”
