When youสผve left something far behind, like at the beach or the gym, the Find My network โ hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices around the world โ helps track down your AirTag. And itสผs designed to protect your privacy every step of theย way.
Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Findย My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud โ then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itสผs efficient, so thereสผs no need to worry about battery life or dataย usage.
Lost Mode
makes finding
thingsย even easier.
Just like your other Apple devices, AirTag can be put into Lostย Mode. Then, when itโs detected by a device in the network, youโll automatically get a notification. You can also set it so someone can get your contact info by tapping your AirTag with their NFC-capable smartphone โ thatโs the same technology that lets people pay for things with theirย phones.
Privacy isย builtย in.
Only you can see where your AirTag is. Your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag itself. Devices that relay the location of your AirTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps findย it.
AirTag is designed to discourage
unwanted tracking.ย If someone elseโs AirTag finds its way into your stuff, the network will notice itโs traveling with you and send your iPhone an alert. If you still havenสผt found it after awhile, the AirTag will start playing a sound letting you know itโs there.
Of course, if you happen to be with a friend who has an AirTag, or on a train with a whole bunch of people with AirTag, donโt worry. These alerts only get triggered when an AirTag is separated from itsย owner.
Beautifully simple.
A oneโtap setup instantly connects your AirTag with your iPhone or iPad. Enter a name for your AirTag, attach it to the item you want to track, and youสผre good to go. Want AirTag notifications on your Appleย Watch, too? Noย problem.
Long live the battery.
AirTag is designed to keep going more than a year on a standard battery you can easily replace.ย And your iPhone lets you know when itสผs time to pop in a newย one.
Splish, splash.
Letโs say youโve tagged your keys and โ oops โ drop them in a puddle. Or theyโre in the path of a colossal spill. Hey, thatโs okay. Your AirTag is waterย resistant.
Initial it. Emoji it.
When you buy your AirTag from the Apple website or Appleย Storeย app, you can have it personalized with your initials. An emoji. Or both. Itสผs free and easy, and it adds someย fun.
