How to Check Your Flight Status Via iOS Message
Tired of monitoring your flight status? This simple iOS hack will help you save a lot of time.
Most people track their flight status using iPhone apps such as Flighty. However, some newbie users are unaware of such a program, so they tend to explore other options outside the App Store.
It should be noted that you don't need to utilize third-party apps anymore in order to track your flight. All you need is to tap a number on the Message and long-press a message to see the current map of your flight.
To view more detailed information, you can long-press the flight number. From here, feel free to explore the submenu options, including the "Preview Flight."
Once you click the "Preview flight," a map will appear, and you will see your arrival and departure times. You can also check your real-time location, status, and even the location of your baggage.
