I’m an ex-Apple genius and there’s an iPhone trick everyone should know before flying

ONE Apple expert has shared a handy trick that can help iOS-users track flights easier.

Sabrina Badin, who calls herself an “ex-Apple genius”, took to TikTok to share the simple iPhone hack with her 55,000 followers.

One Apple expert has shared a handy trick that can help iOS-users track flights easier.

“If you want to let a family member or friend follow your flight all you have to do is send them your flight number,” Sabrina said at the beginning of the 9-second reel.

She then illustrated how the hack worked by first sending her sister a flight code over iMessage.

Next, she tapped on the flight number in the chatbox – the code becomes hyperlinked after you send it.

Two options then appeared: ‘Preview flight,’ and ‘Copy Flight Code’.

Sabrina hit on ‘Preview Flight’ and relevant information pertaining to that flight popped up.

The handy feature displays the gate, terminal, and baggage claim numbers.

Furthermore, users have access to a map that tracks the flight in real-time.

Since the TikTok reel went live two months ago, it has garnered more than 100,000 likes.

Hundreds of users also commented underneath the post to express their thoughts on the iPhone trick.

“OMG wait that’s so cool,” one user wrote.

“Wow I’m going to try this,” a second user added.

Apple launched this feature late last year as part of a new iOS update.

While the feature is super convenient, it’s important to note that it does not work with all flight codes and airlines.

However, most domestic flights and even some international ones (such as those running on British Airways) should be easily accessible through this trick.
