Apple AirTags: How to set up and use the tracker

  • Apple AirTags are tiny disk-shaped Bluetooth trackers that can attach to an item (with a case) like your keys. AirTags use Apple's Find My network to keep their location updated anytime they come into range of another device on Find My. The beacon-style devices work similarly to Tile trackers and Samsung Galaxy SmartTags. But AirTags also have ultrawideband that can connect to your iPhone 11 or 12 for step-by-step directions that guide you to your misplaced item. I walk you through how to set up an AirTag, how to use it and how to find it when it’s lost.

      We bought a new boat that is on a trailer can we use AirTags inside the boat to act as a low jack in case the boat was stolen? Can somebody else detect an AirTag in the boat if they stole it?

    Good video. I've purchased six of them and have attached them to my keys, pocketbook, AirPods cases and backpack. They're not as loud as Tiles, but smaller size makes it a bit more compact when dangling from iPods case. The directional assist on 12 Pro Max is a little better than walking around my house trying to figure exactly where the Tile tone is coming from. All in all, I'm please with AirTags

    The only negative I've noticed so far is there's no volume control on the beeper, and if you have the AirTag in a zipper compartment in your handbag the beeper is not very loud. Maybe their next version of AirTags will have a volume controls. Thanks for the video!

    BLE5.1 and up supports AOA, but does any new phone come with 2.45Ghz antenna arrays? so it can calculate angle of attack to get direction with distance.
    a UWB ic cost $4 each, a ble beacon ic cost 45cents each.

    I bought my Mom a Apple Air Tag for Mother’s Day and before watching your video we watched someone else’s tutorial 😢(not so good). Midway through we ended it and found yours and I just have to tell you yours was by far much more easy to follow. Your video was perfect 🎉 you were funny and informative at the same time. Although Me nor Mom dukes are tech savvy we got it on the first go around we did watch it a few more times only for your humor and additional advice and instructions. I will definitely recommend watching this video or any other one of your videos in the future. You are awesome Thanks Friend 😂❤👍

    I liked the little dance about 3:36 when the tag chimed. I'm nearly seventy and when you asked Siri "where's the air tag and it started chiming. Hahaha.
    I hate spoken voice gadgetry. Just get up and turn the lights on or off. Different generation. Mind you some houses are big in the USA. So I guess if it takes five minutes to walk to the switch it makes sense. You made this Englishman smile anyway so that can't be bad can it?

      I’ve done that and it’s amazing when you’re at the airport luggage carousel waiting and wondering where it is. You can actually see it coming from the plane to the building. I’d imagine if it wound up in another city you’d be able to tell the lost luggage clerk where it is.

    I see this video was made a while ago. Hopefully you’ll see this. So rookie question. I was told these are good for luggage, lost keys etc. Does “within Bluetooth range” mean if those items are say a mile away because you left them at the airport that they will not show you where they are?

      They will appear in the map anywhere you’re at, the Apple Air tag gets signal from order IPhone users allowing it to update, just so it can show you where it’s at, and also if you’re worried if anyone else can see your items, that’s a no, only people who are signed with the Apple ID can view its location

Though her nursing staff can use her iPhone to find these items for her, is there a way for ME to use MY iPhone to locate items for her as well? (She's not quite 'with it' enough to manage it on her own, if she doesn't happen to be at the facility; it would be nice to be able to use a 'Find Friends' type of capability to find HER iTags instead of just my own ...) [Ed: Oh, but I DO know her Apple ID sign-in information, so I presume I could use that from where I live in another state, even absent her iPhone, come to think of it ... ]
