Google now helps you track and recover lost airport luggage in real time: Here’s how

Google has introduced a new capability in its Find Hub network to allow Android users to securely share the real-time location of missing luggage with participating airlines, aiming to speed up recovery and reduce traveler stress at airports. The feature, rolled out as part of the March 2026 Android update (including the Pixel Drop), lets passengers generate a secure, temporary link from the Find Hub app showing a bag’s live position, if a compatible tracker tag is attached to the luggage.

This link can be pasted directly into the airline’s baggage claim form on their app or website, giving baggage teams immediate access to updated location data without manual back-and-forth.
