<\/p>\nA TikTok star has sent viewers wild with her clever iPhone hack for travelling, which lets your family and friends know you\u2019re safe while flying. <\/p>\n
Creator, @live_thedash, who has a whopping 261,000 followers, explained that all you need to do is send your loved ones the airline and flight number on iMessage.<\/p>\n
Anyone who receives the text, which should look like \u2018easyJet EZY8088\u2019 will see a box pop up on the message window.<\/p>\n

A drop down menu will show up stating \u201ccopy code\u201d or \u201cpreview flight\u201d, reports Tyla.<\/p>\n
If the recipient selects the second option to preview they are able to track the flight progress in real time.<\/p>\n
This means your partner or mum can see the departure time, arrival time and flight duration so they know everything going to plan while you can\u2019t use your phone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The creator claimed it was the \u201cbest iPhone travel hack you never knew about\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cAll you need is your airline and your flight number and send it in an iMessage.\u201d<\/p>\n
The young woman then showed herself sending her dad the flight number for her Ryanair journey to Dublin.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWherever you\u2019re going try it next time!\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellow TikTok users were gobsmacked by the hack.<\/p>\n
One person said: \u201cI actually didn\u2019t know you could do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can't wait to use it when I finally go on holiday,\u201d exclaimed another.<\/p>\n
A third wrote: \u201cWow, that\u2019s so cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many people tagged their friends and family in the video\u2019s comments urging them to send the message next time they fly.<\/p>\n
