Apple Messages - flight tracking

[macphanatic]

In iOS 18, you can track flight info within Messages. If a flight is texted to you or you text yourself with the airline name/abbreviation and flight number, Messages makes it clickable. Click the link and it brings up a window with flight details, map, plane location and gate info.

Cool!

That's been there since iOS 17.X. A very handy feature, if you fly or have to pick someone up at the airport.

I think it’s been like this for a while, right?

May have been there. I haven't had anyone text me flight info until recently.

I'm the one traveling and I use Tripit Pro.
