Thanks, I find it easier to twist between my palms.
Nothing worked for me until I tried this hahah. Thank you!
Godbless I couldn’t for the life of me pull it with my fingers
Ah thanks for that, just been spending ages trying to get this thing off but using your suggestion it came off pretty much instantly! Top tip!
@applesupport promote this comment
Thank you so much for that suggestion!!
Letting users to change the battery is the most UN-APPLE thing ever.. LMAO
The worst is if someone steal your thing he can disable the air tag thanks to that !
Show me the charging port on the AirTag.
You used to be able to change the battery on a Mac boot for waterproofing and size reasons they stopped it
@@blackgamer442 Well if it was not removable, he could just remove the airtag and chuck it away.
@@blackgamer442 so the thief cannot simply throw the AirTag away or on the ground then? Wouldn’t that have the same effect.
Except now users don’t have to throw away the product which is such a waste, and what early generation Tiles did.
If you have trouble, squish the AirTag like a pancake with both hands and rotate your hands.
sweaty palms don't help.
Great tip, thank you!
After much struggle, removing the cover felt like a legit accomplishment! I'm going to need a nap!
trying to spin a slippery cover - good one Apple😥
I have tried 50 times to twist the cover back on w/no luck, gloves or no gloves! There has to be a better way!
If you have batteries with bitter coating and it isn't working with your airtag, some rubbing with a rag and rubbing alcohol will take it off. Worked like a charm for me
thanks for the tip! worked for me!
Not working for me
thanks worked for me too!
This is my 2nd replacement. First time came off pretty easily but needed rubber gloves this time for a better grip.
Thanks for the rubber gloves for a better grip idea!
Funny story. My friend, (in his 70's) was having a problem replacing the battery. I told him to watch this video. He did and was still having problems, so I went over to his house to help. I change his battery in 30 seconds. To my surprise he did not know that you had to take the AirTag OUT OF ITS PROTECTIVE CASE!
I could not rotate the cover with clean dry hands. Needed something grippy. In my case, I had a Theraband (thermoplastic elastomer) from when I did Physical Therapy, and that worked like a charm, pressing and turning with just one thumb. I suppose any latex-like object, e.g., a jar opener pad, would work.
I think good idea to remove battery when you are not using them, I only need them for travel
too slippery cant do it
Thank you for this video... The Apple Store in Ottawa just told me that the battery cannot be replaced and that I had to buy a new AirTag... they even told me that if I purchased it less than a year ago... I can bring it back and have it replaced .... Scratching my head here !!!
I'd rather these things charge using the Watch charger, replacing the battery is such a pain
I normally don´t comment, but this was so quick and on point that I really loved it.
Thanks Apple.
I comment almost every chance I get..lol
Original battery lasted 1 year and a half. Good!
its so hard to open and close the actual air tag when replacing the battery 😭😭😭
Thank you! Yours is the third video I watched to open my Air Tag...yours is the only one that I could do!
Huh! That was one of the easiest battery replacements I've every done. Thank you, Apple!

It is not that easy to replace the cover on the airtag Any tips
Thanks you for your help❤️I can do by myself
After struggling to twist with bare hands, I wore a nitrile glove on one hand, and managed to get a better grip of the slipper back cover.
Am I the only one with an AirTag that just doesn’t want to come off? This isn’t nearly as easy as the video makes it out to be. Maybe give us some kind of textured surface if this is how we are supposed to open them up?
Press down with both thumbs then twist it to the left. It’s really not that hard.
I’ve been trying too and I can’t get it off. I’m going to go to the Apple Store today
@@MrsHyperion It's not hard when it works
nice, now i only need an airtag haha
Did you get one yet?
yo did u?
The hell! This is the most infuriating experience. It’s not easy like that at all.
We want you to be able to easily replace your AirTag batteries. If your experience is different from the one outlined in our video, we’d like to learn more. Please reach out to work with our Apple Support team by choosing “AirTag > Power & Battery” here: apple.co/GetSupport
Wow, that was extremally easy and simple! Thanks!
Such easy to follow instructions. thanks for uploading :)
I thought it would be harder but the two thumb method worked instantly! Maybe it’s because the front side is sticky from having taped it to my luggage.
Tip for anyone struggling: use scotch tape. Either side, just make it sticky.
Use double sided tape for those having a hard time like I did.
Sadly, it was very difficult to rotate the battery cover on my key chain type of AirTag in order to replace battery. For over 30 minutes I’ve tried the suggested techniques mentioned to push and tried new ways to grip it sufficiently to turn the cover. However, it has not budged. Any other ideas? Maybe a slight design change to better grip the face of the battery cover might help.
Had the same issue. I am going to have to go to the apple store and ask them to do it!
Yep I'm having the same exact problem
I had the same issue with one of my tags, but not the other. I put a slip resistant jar mat under it and that helped me open the one that was stubborn.
Thank you for the tip using a rubber mat . It works otherwise I had the same issue .
That’s helpful!
Thanks for the video!
Thank you guys!
Is there a way to connect for batteries with bitter coating
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 These fires came while listening 🎧
That sound from the air tag should be a Alarm sound for the iPhone
Thanks for this tutorial Apple! I appreciate it, this was very simple and made sense for me. It did take me a few tries to twist but I finally got it.
Thanks for the help!
I had one that I could *NOT* twist the top to open it. In desperation, I tried putting a line of glue across the stainless steel top, hoping it would dry and give me a ridge I could use for traction. The glue was too thin, started running towards the edge, so I quickly rinsed the glue off the AirTag with hot water. To my surprise, after the water had heated the AirTag the top twisted right off. Perhaps this trick might be useful for others.
Omg your the best bro thanks for the advice 🎉
I am having that problem right now

Thanks Apple Support!
Thank you worked perfectly!!!!
How about advice on how to open the stubborn ones, I can’t for the life of me open mine.
Press down with both thumbs then twist it to the left. It’s really not that hard.
I’ve been trying for 30 minutes and it literally won’t even spin. My family can’t do it either
@@bdog9889 I'd been struggling for a while as well. It finally popped open when I put on a pair of those disposable latex gloves.
Thank you it was very easy
That was really easy to do it’s nice you don’t have to buy a certain kind of battery. You can get one at the grocery store. Makes it really convenient.
One yearly early as mine just arrived 2 days ago, but still good to know
how often air tag refresh the location? bcze mine it does every 30-45 min
Awesome! Had it changed in under 30sec.
nice vid, but why do you use the Australian SIRI?
Thanks, it worked!
Thanks 🙏
I switched from android to iPhone and I m so happy with it never going to switch back to Android
Which iPhone have you bought and what about battery life?
Who cares? (Just kidding 😃)
@@ali_armaan2093 I bought iPhone XR
I m happy with the battery. It stays day long
That’s what I did 10 years ago and never switched to android again
good choice
Just did mine’s. Thanks for your video. I really appreciate it!
I’ve been reying to pry it open with a bar for like 10 mins, just to find out you only have to twist it😂
Yes! Thank you!
This is the way...!!!
Good job Apple, I'm not a fan of your brand but this is very Consumer friendly 🎉
Ty so much
Try using latex or rubber gloves. It really grips, the fingers do not slip, and you can feel it turn.
Helpful! Thanks
i know you are reading this comment apple
AND YOUR PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!
Ty it worked!
Hey why did you guys remove the battery life feature? Too useful?
Thank you ❤
Thanks😍
Cool
How long are the batteries supposed to last? I have one that only lasted 6 months 🤨
super easy!
mine was stuck, so I pressed on it with my palm and twist it and it came out easily.
Also try way LESS pressure. I was pushing too hard and didn’t even realize the back had come off.
1. Push down with your two thumbs until you feel the back ‘give’ just a little bit.
2. Then rotate.
Should work.
Don’t push down any harder once it ‘gives’ a little as it won’t make a difference.
Then it’s only rotational force with your thumbs. Hope that helps :)))
Nice
This may be a stupid question, but coming from someone who hasn't used Apple products in years (but is going back to iOS and MacOS in the Fall) do the AirTags send you a notification when the batteries are low or is it a guessing game? How long do the batteries tend to last? I've had other tags before, the Tiles ones and I ended up hating them because the batteries wouldn't last long at all and that's my concern here.
We can help and provide some information.
The Find My app will show you the AirTag battery percentage. When the battery is very low, you will receive a notification on your iOS device. More information is here: s.apple.com/dm3b6p2i1Y

so true bestie
About that "bitter coating". I tried a Duracell CR2032 and it did not work. Original Panasonic CR2032 put back in....works. Is the bitter coating on the label of the battery pack? I dug the packaging out of the trash....it indeed shows there a bitter taste.
Same here. Should have known it was too good to be true that I could use these leftover Duracells for something else. ALWAYS have to spend more money when it comes to Apple.
Been 7mo but try rubbing alcohol
IPA will dissolve the bitter coating if your new battery does not work
Am I the only one struggling with this? I can’t turn it. My fingers slide and can’t get grip to turn it. Suggestions?
nope same problem here
Even easy for someone with arthritis in their hands. Thank you.
Not compatible with Duracell then as they all have a bitter coating. Never known that with any other product.
changed to brand new battery but it doesnt recognize airtag! that sucks what a waste of money!
We’re happy to assist you with your concerns.
The AirTag battery size is CR2032 lithium 3V coin. Batteries with bitterant coatings may not work with your AirTag. Please take a look at the guidance here for more information: s.apple.com/dm4i6T5q2X
Contact us directly if more help is needed here: apple.co/GetSupport
I was worried abt the kid thing but in the batteries said I can connect it. Hahaha. God thing I got it in like 20 mins 😭 and opening the batteries like 5 mins. Good thing I have patience 🙏
the good Apple
Really wish it worked with Duracells coated batteries….
This video is gonna be very popular in 1 year
so simple, just 2 fingers and it pops up itself
Battery type C2032
Wondering how long does the battery last, any clue?
AirTag is designed to keep going more than a year on a standard battery you can easily replace. Read more here: s.apple.com/dm3O9r3n1u
mine won't budge!
I still can’t do it , it’s hard lmao
The cover isn’t staying on help
What kind of batteries should I get?
Thanks for reaching out. You would use a CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery. See more about replacing the battery here: s.apple.com/dm4i6T5q2X

worked. sad I had to replace the battery after receiving the airtag 5 days ago!
God I’m so happy I found this 50 second video instead of some 8 minute garbage of some youtube clown
Thank you Apple.
uh..no. this is crap. This thing is like holding a wet watermelon seed. I've tried setting on a rough surface, on a neoprene pad...how the hell can you get the disc to turn when the whole thing turns. These are crap.
found out the hard way that Duracell branded batteries are not compatible. Annoying
cool
Thats cool never knew you could actually change the battery i almost went to the store to buy another one and throw my old one away 😂
Half an hour later having tried a number of different tips the back will not move. Apple please make this rechargeable. I now have a useless airtag
You will probably need rubber gloves in order to get the tag to turn counterclockwise. And to put it back and close it.
I was about to forcibly open my airtag cause I thought that you were supposed to take it to an Apple store and pay $40 to change the battery. 😂
That was easy.
What happens when you replace the battery but it doesn't make a sound and it states AirTag Not Reachable in Find My?
Hi there, we’d like to help out. If the AirTag doesn’t make a sound when replacing the battery then this may indicate that the battery isn’t connected successfully.
We have some info here that can help: s.apple.com/dm3b6p2i1Y
“CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.”
