    Anyone else have extremely slow AirTag sharing?

    We picked up 4 Airtags and bound them to my wifes iPhone, which she then shared to my account using the new feature in iOS 17. Both my iPhone and iPad can see them. However the location of the tags updates very very slowly, if at all. I tested this today by putting my spare iPhone with her in...

    Ring AirTag from far away?

    Is there a certain proximity within which you have to be in order to ring the AirTag from the Find My app? Is it Bluetooth range or can you be far away and trigger it to play the chime sound? I ask because I had my luggage lost at an airport on another continent, and had a close friend get it...

    I couldn’t get Duracell “Child Secure” 2032’s to work [MERGED]

    If you try to replace your AirTag battery with one of Duracell’s premium coated “Child Secure” 2032 batteries, good luck. Because I couldn’t get them to work. I tried 2 different batteries and neither would work. I popped the old battery back in and it immediately sprang to life. The old battery...

    Lufthansa is starting to ban Airtags in Checked Luggage.

    I came across this article today on Simple Flying saying that Lufthansa is Banning Airtags in Luggage, saying that 'electronic devices in checked luggage must be completely turned off.' It's clear that Airtags help track lost luggage in Crowded Airports, but it's clear that Airlines want to hide...

    Airtags not longer updating on iPhone

    Since updating to iOS 16, my four Airtags (bike, keys, bag and bag) are not longer updating in the "Find My"-app. However, on my Mac and on iCloud.com it's working properly. Have anyone experience the same and know what to do?

    What's Your Experience w/ AirTags in Checked Luggage

    I am curious to know what has been your experience with AirTags in checked luggage? I don't want to leave it dangling on the handle. I'd rather tuck it away inside the suitcase. Will it track well like this? And can you monitor the location of your bag throughout the flight? I'd love to...

    Hey people, I’ve seen lately people receiving notifications about unknown devices detected near them, but no one’s got an AirTag and no AirTag or anything else like from Belkin or whatever was found nearby when they looked. Plus, they’ve got their Bluetooth off all the time, and when pressing...

    I bought a 4-pack of AirTags on launch day and was rather surprised when it didn’t take long at all for the first one to ask for a battery change. But - now the same one is requesting it’s 2nd battery change! What? The other 3 haven’t needed a single battery change as of yet. The one that is...

    Do I need to re-pair when a new phone?

    To make a long story short, I am getting the iPhone 12 Pro (upgrading from 8Plus), and wanted to know if I needed to re pair each of the airtags with my new phone or when I transfer via the quick set, the settings transfer over?

    AirTag owner modifies case to make a thin, wallet-sized version

    Take a look at this video for those who are into electronics and tinkering. Just be careful as the PCB is fragile, he broke off the power button in the procss and had to solder it back on. Cool though that it can be done.

    AirTag for kids I share custody with?

    I share custody with my kids 50/50 and want to get both children an AirTag for their backpacks. If I give them each an AirTag, what will happen when they are away from me for a few days? Will it start making noise as if they're being "tracked?" Both kids have iPads that are logged into an...
