    Airtag wallet card form factor

    As far as I know, no Find My compatible third party trackers support UWB position finding. So, this is a key differentiating factor for the Airtag. I am shopping for a card shaped wallet finder. Currently, for tracking my wallet, I found an old 5 year old Tile recently that I hadn't activated...

    Do iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 Support AirTag Location Sharing?

    Dear AirTag Experts, Thank you for reading this question. My apologies for not being able to find the answers myself. My mom and dad use an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 8 respectively, and each of them has their own AirTag. When they tried to share their AirTag locations with my iPhone 12 Mini, I...

    Find My items left behind notifications when left at home

    I haven't see anyone else post about this yet. Every time I leave home I get notifications about devices being left behind. I've gone through at least half a dozen times and made sure my home address is in the exclusion (don't notify if left here) yet I still get them every time. Anyone...

    Does anyone know the functional differences between 'YAOTE Tag' and AirTag?

    I came across a 'YAOTE Tag' on Amazon and after carefully researching its features and description, it appears to have the same functionality as AirTag, using the Find My network for item tracking. However, the price seems much cheaper. Has anyone purchased it before?

    Best use of AirTags based on personal experience

    Based on your own personal experience, what have you found to be the best use of your AirTags? For me: 1st Locating a lost checked bag on an airline flight (Happened only once but ended up being really important) 2nd Finding my misplaced keys

    ¿“Maximum Items?” ”… first remove an AirTag that you are sharing…”

    My wife just upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro. Being incredibly update-averse, this forced her to go to iOS 17.0.3. Now, finally, I can share a few AirTags we use with her: Apple TV remotes (frequently hidden to keep the kids from watching) and car keys. I have successfully added one of my sons who...

    Are the AirTag Hermès Luggage Tags still being sold, or was there a manufacturer's defect a while ago?

    I'm shopping for my father's upcoming retirement gift. He's a pilot and I'd love to get him the AirTag Hermès Luggage Tag (in any of the 3 colors). Here's the AirTag Hermès Luggage Tag Link on Apple Online Store. I've been checking consistently for the past few weeks and all 3 colors—Gold...

    Find My delays? (Feb/Mar 2023)

    Anyone else notice that Find My - on some/most devices - is very delayed? Example - from my Mac, half of my devices show last seen between 5 minutes ago and hours ago, even though they're online, right next to me. This has been occurring for at least the past month.

    AirTag Chiming, Battery is Not Low

    The AirTag in my wallet (or keys, I keep them together in my bag and can't tell which one is acting up) has been randomly chiming for days now. I checked in the FindMy app and none of my AirTags have a low battery. In fact, all of the batteries across my many AirTags were replaced around the...

    Full list of every Find My network-enabled accessory

    Howdy Folks, I've been trying to find a list of every "Find My" enabled product ever since Apple started accepting third-party products to use the network. I looked far and wide for such a list but I could not find anything worthwhile. The closest I've found was a blog post claiming they have...

    Remove Airtag, no access to any iOS device

    Hi all. I recently changed from an iPhone to an Android device, and have since sent the iPhone back to AT&T. I had an Airtag that I want to give my wife, but I forgot to remove it from the Find My app on the phone before sending it off. I tried going to the Find My app through icloud.com, but...

    Directions no longer shown over 5 metres

    Hi all, This has been a thing for a little while now. I have AirTags on my older cats and a few things like my wallet. Generally they have been outstanding and they saved my blind cat from dying. So needless to say, pretty happy. I've noticed a new thing that hasn't changed, and that is when...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Location related question

    Hello all, I have changed some things in the past in location settings to save some battery. Now when I disable network and wireless I get a pop up that this may affect the use of UWB (bluetooth wifi etc) - will this then also affect the use of airtags?

    Don't Get Fooled by an Airtag's Phantom Location

    If you are new to using Airtag's, you will have expectations that exceed the capabilities of the tag, iPhone, and connection variables. One of those location errors is what I call a Phantom Location. A Phantom Location is what will be reported and where you will chase off to find the lost tag...

    Relink AirTag by Serial?

    I have an AirTag that somehow is not in Find My database. I have a BUNCH of these. The iPhone finds it by NFC with an identified serial number and my phone # with a Safari web page. Find My is clueless and does not pick it up with "Identify..." Any idea of how to recover this? I put in a new...

    Adding Find My capabilities to Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro

    We were gifted 2 AirTags last year, which we have no real use for. I got myself Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO headphones and was thinking of putting one AirTag into one of the cups, as I use them as my only headphones and am also not fond of leaving them somewhere behind. Dies anyone have experience...
