What Is An AirTag – And How Exactly Does It Work?

BY KRISTEN GARRIDO

AirTags have become a popular and convenient way for anyone who has trouble with misplacing items to keep track of their things easily and efficiently.

Apple AirTags are a convenient and reliable way to keep track of your belongings, offering peace of mind and helping you stay organized in your daily life. 

They are small, circular tracking devices designed to help you keep track of your belongings and prevent theft or loss of important items.

AirTags use Bluetooth technology to establish a connection with your Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad or Mac. 

How Does An AirTag Work?

To use an AirTag, you simply need to pair it with your iPhone or iPad using the Find My app. Once paired, the AirTag is linked to your Apple ID and associated with your account.

Pairing With iPhone

With Precision Finding, your iPhone uses Ultra Wideband technology to provide precise directions to your lost item, guiding you directly to its location.

Precision Finding

Attach an AirTag to your keys, wallet, or any other item you frequently misplace. You can then track its location using the Find My app on your Apple device.

Item Tracking

AirTags are designed with privacy and security in mind. They use end-to-end encryption to protect your location data and offer features to prevent unwanted tracking.

Privacy And Security

If you accidentally leave behind an item with an AirTag attached, your iPhone will notify you with a Separation Alert, helping you avoid losing your belongings.
