Did you know you can track flights directly in iMessage? You need only the airline name and flight number.
These days, you can preview flight paths right from your iPhone or Mac — no cumbersome CRT monitor or terribly-designed FAA flight graph required. Apple built flight tracking directly into the Messages app: You need only the airline name and flight number to find out the status of the flight.
In the flight tracking window, you'll be able to see the plane's current status on an interactive map (which you can pan and zoom), flight number, current status, terminal departure and arrival gates, and times of departure/estimated arrival along with any delays.
How to track your flights on the iPhone or iPad
- Open the Messages app.
-
Find the conversation where a user has sent you flight information. They'll need to type the Airline Name and Flight Number in succession (I've also seen this work with the airline abbreviation and number, but not consistently).
- Press and hold on the information (or 3D Touch it) to open the Flight Tracker window.
-
Tap Preview Flight.
