    Your iPhone will automatically recognize the AirTag and then walk you through the process of setting it up. Typically, this is accomplished by utilizing the Find My app on your iOS device to match the AirTag with your Apple ID.

  • Join the AirTag for the following items:
    After the AirTag has been configured, it can be fastened to the thing you wish to keep tabs on, such as a set of keys, a wallet, a purse, or other valuables. You may either tuck it away inside the item, or you can secure it to the outside with a keychain or some adhesive.

  • Keep tabs on your personal property:
    Launch the Find My app on your iPhone or any device that is compatible with Apple products to keep track of your belongings. To access the list of AirTags that are connected to your Apple ID, navigate to the “Items” tab and tap on it.

  • Discover where your item is:
    You can use the Find My app to make an item equipped with an AirTag and play a sound to assist you in locating it while you are in close proximity to the item. The application offers direction and guidance on the distance that is approximately traveled to reach the AirTag.
