Trying to coordinate with friends and family while flying thousands of feet in the air is next to impossible.
But a clever iPhone hack lets you share your flight location live with other users.
For passengers, take off means airplane mode and no contact with the outside world until landing.

This can make arranging a lift a nightmare, as the delay can leave passengers stranded in arrivals while they wait to be picked up.
And any tip to stay organised when flying is crucial, as UK airports continue to see chaotic waiting times, flight delays, and cancellations.
A viral TikTok video, shared by user @live_thedash, explains how you can share your plane’s live location by sending a single text message.
According to the travel account, all you have to do is send the name of your airline and your flight number in an iMessage.
Doing this lets the recipient see where your plane is in real time.
The tip has racked up over two million views on the social media platform and has impressed followers.
