i've followed your tutorial including swithcing stuff on and off. I'll be using my tag largely for luggage, so it will be dormant a lot. should I switch off any of the actions I've taken to help save the battery while it's not in use? Also, what are the odds of my suitcase being found if it's lost in far distant places on the globe? Great tutorial ... THANK YOU!
3:40 this works but only if your iPhone is a newer version. Precise location may not be available for you, so its worth it to try this feature out on your iPhone to see if its precision location applicable
Your tutorial is very well done and complete! Keep up the good work. Can you do a tutorial on how to remove the speaker in the AirTag? I am using it to track my car in case it is stolen! However, even if it is well hidden, I do not want to make it easier for the thieves to locate the AirTag by activating the sound and then disabling the AirTag to stop the tracking! Thanks
Best airtag video ever as a brand new iphone user with alot of expensive toys but im old and hate tech ... You just made it super simple for an ole fart like me very much pre shaded brother you rock and you gained a sub in me ....
Great video. It appears that an Air Tag is not appropriate to locate things a distance away? For example; if I place an air tag in my checked bag, where the bag may be loaded on my aircraft or left in an airport baggage area I won't receive location information? Or in my car where it may be lost in a mall parking lot?
It works with Bluetooth. The more accurate answer to worry about is not putting the tracker away from you, just away from iPhones in general. Whenever you walk by an airtag, your iPhone sends out it's location to the owner of the tag via bluetooth. This is all silently done in the background. This is how air tags work without Internet, and it's why people recommend installing your tags in cars in high or outside places. You want to be nearby other iPhones in order to ping. This is exactly how thieves would exploit the airtag in my opinion. Recognize only iPhones ping this information, not Androids. As someone malicious, my goal would be to tag discreetly around the area I plan to rob . Then I wait for no ping on my airtag. This lets me know that no iphones are near my tag. No iphones, no one's home. This of course doesn't factor in the fact that someone else could be there , who uses android, or, It can be more difficult to use, in very dense areas. Are you home, or is your neighbor. That kind of thing. Now you know. Edit I believe if you have a iPhone 14 or newer you can use precise location to get a very accurate detection of where the item is, and if you find that you are not being updated for hours, activating the "lost" mode makes the tag search for phones to ping every 2-3 minutes. Hope this helps. thanks
Hi echoing other users in saying this; this has been so helpful! I had so many questions before viewing this. And many of them have been relieved. I’ve subscribed and I’m keeping this for future review and knowledge. Thank you again so much.
Hi. Great tutorial! I have an AirTag attached to a shoulder bag that I carry with me when I go out for my daily walk. Two times, I forgot to take the bag with me and 400 ft into my walk the Find My App notified me on my iPhone that I had left my bag behind. Is it possible for me to change the 400 ft distance to any distance of my choice, say 15 ft?
In the iPhone Find My App, tap on the AirTag you want to check, and if the battery is low, you will see a message under the AirTag name. If there is not a message it just means the battery is is fine.
Hi, I lost my purse at a concert venue on Saturday. As soon as I was a distance from it I got a notification from my AirTag that my keys were left behind. I had no clue how to use it I only knew I could track it on the Find My app but didn’t know all the features it had. Does the picture of the location shown when tracked on real time? This might be a dumb question but I’m barely getting to learn how to use an AirTag and it’s features.
The batteries last for about a year. It's wise to remember to replace them or store them in at least easy-ish access places in order to retrieve the tag to replace that battery
Thanks for a good video but what if you need to track your phone? Like w/ TILE you can double tap the tile and your ph will make noise. Maybe they’ll do that for the next gen AirTag 😮
After using AirTag for tracking luggage on a cruise is best way to save battery life when not in use to take it out .ie is there another way to “turn off”? Loved the tutorial and I have have missed this section if so I apologize.
Do you know why I can’t see my AirTag? It’s on my dog and she’s at home and I’m at work. She runs away a lot which is why I got the tag. But it’s not locating her. I set it up yesterday.
First make sure you are looking in the Find My App under the items tab as that is where AirTags are located. If you do not see the AirTag you set up then best bet is to pull out the battery and reset it. Then reconnect it to your iPhone and see if you can see it before you put it on your Dog. Basically if your dog runs away (hope not) then, it will pick up locations based on what it passes. For example other iPhones, or bluetooth devices. As it passes these things, the AirTag will send that location to your iPhone. So, if the dog is at home, it shouldn't really move but if you don't see it at all there is an issue. If resetting doesn't fix it, you may want to return it to Apple as it could be defective.
Great video, thanks. Buying two tags for 4 planned trips in next 6 months. Will put this video in favorites for future reference. You answered a lot of my questions.
Please show us how to use Apple what S6 above with U1 chip finding in a lost mode AirTag ? We just want to see the precise finder working picture on an Apple Watch >
Good info. Just curious, I have a question as it relates to how the Air Tag technology works. If I have an air tag on in my backpack and it was thrown into a dumpster. How will I be able to see where the backpack is? What is required in order for me to be able to see the backpack in its current location? Will I be able to see it in my "Find My" iPhone app, or is something else required in order for it to show up on the "Find My" screen? Thanks in advance for your time and reply.
I am a new purchaser trying to figure out the utility of this device. So far it seems more limited than I had imagined. This video says the range of the airtag is about 40 feet. You would be out of luck until you get close to wherever the contents of that dumpster ended up. However, if someone discover syour backpack and reports back to you things might work out. If you leave an airtagged item in a taxi or an Uber, you may never see it again. I may end using these airtags to locate my keys or remote.
Thank you! But as a victim of luggage theft, can you tell me what happens if there’s a theft? Would they be able to know that there’s an air tag there, locate it and disable it?
Hi, this is excellent thank you. One question though there can be a delay in the air tags info to your phone. It will tell you the item was last seen ‘25 minutes ago’. It will try to refresh but it doesn’t always work. Is there anyway to get more update locations quicker? I tried turning the phone on and off but no joy.
My experience is that these are about worthless for finding things. You can be within a few feet and they never connect to your phone. I've tried more than one but they are curious critters. Sometimes they apparently connect to someone elses phone which is then relayed to me but when I try to track it it's a no go.
Can u pls instruct on how to track see moving your AirTag when it’s on the vehicle? Coz I put one on our vehicle and husband took the vehicle for a drive but I could track see the airtag on that vehicle, while I’m at home
I think it s important to note that if you change your phone (replacement or new phone) that you should 3:49 remove the air tag from your phone. Also if you want to use the same tag on your new phone. 6:17
Actually, AirTags are connected to your Apple ID. So if you switch iPhones and use the same Apple ID you will still be able to track the AirTag. Removing it from the old phone is important though if you are selling it or giving it away.
Your tutorial is extremely well done, informative & easy to follow, thank you so much! Just surprise that the option to locate the AirTag that is close by doesn't show on my phone (what you called the hot/cold game). It just says that it's at the same location as me.
Same problem. Keys are on my desk. I'm in the building next door. The message I get is "Car keys with you" . When I hit directions it takes me to Google Maps.
A big negative with the Apple AirTag is the fact that it can often goes several HOURS without updating its location, even in an area packed with other iPhone users.
question.. hypothetically if i put my air tag say in a open field and it was 300 ft away by itself.. i wont see it on my phone till i am like 15 ft away when blue tooth kicks in.. but if there was ppl with cell phones with bT on next to it.. I would be able to get a distant of 300 ft away and then i can keep walking to it with the arrow on my iphone telling me the direction and distance.... Correct??
It should work something like that. However, I can tell you my first hand situation with a bag that got stolen from me was a bit different. The tag was in the bag. I couldn't get the arrow to trigger but I did get location pings as it moved. Eventually it was left in a forest area by a road. I got the general location on the map by the passing drivers phones I am assuming. I was maybe 20-30 ft away before I could get the arrows to engage a guide me.
@@DHTV Wow.. sorry to year abt ur bag... but ty for the info.. ya.. my guess is anyone with bluetooth will connect to it and then your phone will get a location.. so if im at a airport and my bag is still 400ft away.. and if the person loading the bags has a phone with bluetooth it will ping me and say its far away and give me a map on where its at.. i guess the arrow will start working under a 100ft or so?? will see if thats true when i travel to Kauai and wait for my bag ..
i have 3 air tags that i bought last year. today I bought new batteries and I can't connect to my I phone. I did everything you did but to no avail. Could you help me?
If the AirTag won’t open it could be defective. If that’s the case taking it to Apple would be your best opinion. I’m guessing it’s just stuck. Try using something silicon to help twist it or anything that can give you extra grip.
So a thief can disable it and "safely" steal my stuff? If that's the case, then it is only for things I forget where I put, but it's not that "anti-theft", right?
It's more for tracking lost luggage/backpacks, etc on air planes, cruises, general travel... It's not touted as an anti-theft device. My friend's luggage was lost by an airline and no one knew what city it was in. An air tag would have helped.
Instead of the "Find" green button, I have a "Directions" blue button which gets me to maps. My AirTag is next to me? iPhone XSmax fully updated. What's wrong?
So we can’t track it? It doesn’t show a map of wherever is? For example if it’s in my classic car and it’s 10” miles away it won’t show me the map where it’s at as it moves?
It will but it needs something around it to ping. For example if you leave it in a garage that has nothing around it with a Bluetooth connection then the location won’t show up or update. As it moves it will ping locations on a map based on other Bluetooth devices around.
@@DHTV ok nice. I bought a 4 pack and I was worried it didn’t. It’s past the return policy. Bought it 2 months ago and still haven’t set it up. Procrastinator I know. I currently have my 2 truck’s blocked off so I’m safe there but will be moving then soon. Thanks for the info. Have a great afternoon
Yeah no worries glad to help! Keep in mind the fail safe apple has in these to prevent people from stocking people will notify an iPhone user if the AirTag is moving with them.
So basically with the iPhone you set it up with you have about 10 meters max. keep in mind obstacles and things could lower this distance.If it goes further it can use Bluetooth to ping various locations
So lets say I use this and put it in my car... after removing the speaker... and someone steals my car. If they have an iPhone, will they be notified of the tag and will they be able to use the locator to find it in the car?
if someone if tracking me with his paired Airtag, and for me to receive this notification 'AirTag Found Moving With You', must my iPhone be turned on with "location services" and "Find My" ? if these 2 functions are turned off, can I still receive such notification on my iPhone?
Hmm. So if someone steals my stuff, it’s gonna notify them that an air tag is following them... and if they find my tag, they can just disable it and keep the stuff...? 🤔
No, so if you want the sound and directional tracking it will only work 30ft away but if say the dog runs away, you can then start seeing points where the airtag has connected with other iPhones, or bluetooth devices as it is out. So when I went on vacations I could see where our luggage was based on phones and other bluetooth devices even though I was on a different part of the airport.
It needs to pickup a Bluetooth signal from someone or something as it moves otherwise it only shows the last spot it was able to connect. If you are in the car driving around with another Bluetooth device enabled like an iPhone, it should be changing
I read you can set up a boundary and if the tag leaves that you'll be alerted, but I have yet found how to do that. I only see the "left behind" option. Is this an option?
i've followed your tutorial including swithcing stuff on and off. I'll be using my tag largely for luggage, so it will be dormant a lot. should I switch off any of the actions I've taken to help save the battery while it's not in use?
Also, what are the odds of my suitcase being found if it's lost in far distant places on the globe?

This is the best tutorial video for airtag device.👍
The batteries last much longer than a year. I have had the battery in my airtag for over two years, and the battery is still strong.
That’s really good, I guess Apple is playing it cautious with their battery
thanks for the video! is there any way to see how much battery is left on an air tag?
Well done!!!! Thank you for the information provided, your voice is clear and your description easy to follow!

i have 3 air tags that i bought last year. today I bought new batteries and I can't connect to my I phone. I did everything you did but to no avail. Could you help me?
Hi what should I do if I can’t open the back of my AirTag.
If the AirTag won’t open it could be defective. If that’s the case taking it to Apple would be your best opinion. I’m guessing it’s just stuck. Try using something silicon to help twist it or anything that can give you extra grip.
I didn't catch where you said that you have to have the iphone model with ultra-wideband to use the precision find feature. The 11 or 12 model.
That explain a lot for me.
Or ios?
but if some one takes your vehicle you wont be able to find the tag unless the vehicle is in Bluetooth?
So a thief can disable it and "safely" steal my stuff? If that's the case, then it is only for things I forget where I put, but it's not that "anti-theft", right?
My thought exactly!
It's more for tracking lost luggage/backpacks, etc on air planes, cruises, general travel... It's not touted as an anti-theft device. My friend's luggage was lost by an airline and no one knew what city it was in. An air tag would have helped.
In order for an airtag to work...if someone is tracking u do it work off of my bluetooth

Does the bluetooth need to be on to find out that an unknown AirTag is tracking you?
Bluetooth and location services would need to be on.
If range is only 30ft how do people use them to track luggage?
Range from your iPhone to the AirTag is 30ft. When out of range is uses any iPhone, iPad or Mac in range to give you a location.
How do i add apple air tag to my list of devices
So we can’t track it? It doesn’t show a map of wherever is? For example if it’s in my classic car and it’s 10” miles away it won’t show me the map where it’s at as it moves?
It will but it needs something around it to ping. For example if you leave it in a garage that has nothing around it with a Bluetooth connection then the location won’t show up or update. As it moves it will ping locations on a map based on other Bluetooth devices around.
@@DHTV ok nice. I bought a 4 pack and I was worried it didn’t. It’s past the return policy. Bought it 2 months ago and still haven’t set it up. Procrastinator I know. I currently have my 2 truck’s blocked off so I’m safe there but will be moving then soon. Thanks for the info. Have a great afternoon
Yeah no worries glad to help! Keep in mind the fail safe apple has in these to prevent people from stocking people will notify an iPhone user if the AirTag is moving with them.
Class might have to invest in one of these. Thanks.
Definitely worth it for the time wasted looking for things. I used similar products for years.
What’s the range of distance ? I want to put it on my dogs collar
So basically with the iPhone you set it up with you have about 10 meters max. keep in mind obstacles and things could lower this distance.If it goes further it can use Bluetooth to ping various locations
Question. If you lose one, and someone passes by it, will their device report where it was seen?
Yeah in theory that’s how it works. It would update its location as someone with an Apple device passes it.
So lets say I use this and put it in my car... after removing the speaker... and someone steals my car. If they have an iPhone, will they be notified of the tag and will they be able to use the locator to find it in the car?
if someone if tracking me with his paired Airtag, and for me to receive this notification 'AirTag Found Moving With You', must my iPhone be turned on with "location services" and "Find My" ? if these 2 functions are turned off, can I still receive such notification on my iPhone?
I’m not sure 100% I read even off the iPhone can be foubd
How you connected your old AirTag to iPhone 16
You reset it by removing the battery and then reconnect it.
Hmm. So if someone steals my stuff, it’s gonna notify them that an air tag is following them... and if they find my tag, they can just disable it and keep the stuff...? 🤔
Yea but would've it takes longer than 3 days
Remove the speaker like I did.
@@Sam9wilson9removing the speaker will still notify them that an air tag is following them right?
@@davidkeith6907 they will still get notification, just won’t be able to locate with alarm; esp if there are two or more planted lol.
I thought you said that I could only track it with in 30 ft
You thank you so much at you as a subscriber thumbs up all the way
Thanks for the sub! Glad I could help!
So I can only be 30 feet away from the air tag?
If my dog gets lost can I track her down if she’s more than 30 feet away?
No, so if you want the sound and directional tracking it will only work 30ft away but if say the dog runs away, you can then start seeing points where the airtag has connected with other iPhones, or bluetooth devices as it is out. So when I went on vacations I could see where our luggage was based on phones and other bluetooth devices even though I was on a different part of the airport.
How about if I misplaced in the house low battery???thanks
It gives you that little direction system to look for it
Let us say I leave my back pack at Jim's Hot Dogs. when I return home may I use AirTag to figure out it was left at J.H.?
Yes
We have one of these in our vehicle, but we have the last seen date as 2-3 days ago. Anyone knows why it’s not tracking location in the present time?
It needs to pickup a Bluetooth signal from someone or something as it moves otherwise it only shows the last spot it was able to connect. If you are in the car driving around with another Bluetooth device enabled like an iPhone, it should be changing
Ok I see now, thanks for your reply.
No problem.
Can an air tag be added to on different phones/I pad?
AirTag can be added to one Apple ID so if the iPad used the same Apple ID as the iPhone it will be visible on both
I read you can set up a boundary and if the tag leaves that you'll be alerted, but I have yet found how to do that. I only see the "left behind" option. Is this an option?
Super curious how to do this as well
Thank you.
No problem
I just bought one of these for my luggage on flight/ but I have an iPhone 10 …will it not work?
It will not do precise location. You need an iPhone 12 for that.
How would this work for a pet ? Would it be a good device to find a lost dog?
where should I attach it to my luggage?
I threw it inside worked great
How can someone track you if it only has a range of 30 feet?
The precision locator only works within 30 ft. Further out you will have a location on a map.
