Overview
AirTag is an easy way to keep track of your stuff. Simply attach one to your keys, backpack, wallet, or other items. And just like that, they are on your radar in the Find My app.
When you misplace something like your wallet, it does not have to be a big deal. With an AirTag attached to the item, you can play a sound on the built-in speaker by going to the new Items tab in the Find My app, or say “Hey Siri, find my wallet.” If it is hiding nearby — like under the sofa or in the next room — just follow the sound and your search is over.
Lost Mode makes finding things even easier, including your AirTag. If you lose track of it, simply put your AirTag into lost mode. When it is detected by a device in the network, you will automatically get a notification.
How does it work?
The AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And it is efficient, so there is no need to worry about battery life or data usage.
