Sharing a flight or itinerary with the people picking you up matters more than any feature. Here are the best iPhone apps for trip sharing in 2026.
The shortlist

Live link in iMessage, in any browser, no account required. Auto-text on landing. Premium adds full multi-recipient family sharing.
Flighty
Live activity-style sharing within the app. Recipient needs the app for full features.
Find My (Apple)
Surprisingly useful for the "I've landed" moment via location share.
