Alongside the March 2026 Pixel Drop, Google today announced new Find Hub integrations with Google Messages and airlines to help find lost luggage.
Real-time location sharing in Google Messages powered by Find Hub started rolling out last week for some users. This goes beyond the existing feature that shares a static Google Maps link of your current location, which remains available.
This is the same real-time location sharing available in Find Hub and Google Maps with the ability to set duration. The Google Messages conversation thread will show a real-time map view that you can tap to expand. Once rolled out, find the new “Real-time location” option — in green — from the attachments ‘plus’ menu.
If your luggage has a Find Hub tracker and gets lost, you can now share a link to it with participating airlines on their mobile app or website. You can stop sharing at any time, while links will automatically expire after seven days. Find Hub will also disable sharing “as soon as your phone detects the item is back with you.”
Google has partnered with Ajet, Air India, China Airlines, the Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Swiss International Airlines), Saudia Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, and Turkish Airlines. Qantas will add support in the future.
We’re also working with Samsonite to embed Find Hub technology directly into their latest designs. Now, compatible Samsonite suitcases come ready to pair with the Find Hub network right out of the box, offering you an easy way to stay connected to your belongings and gear so you can travel with added confidence.
As part of the Pixel Drop, Google is highlighting how the Find Hub app is available on the Pixel Watch and other Wear OS devices. It launched in December.
