Thanks so glad I was able to help!
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?

Thanks! No problem
Can’t share airtag location with family. 😢
Outstanding! Thanks a lot!
Thanks glad it helped!
Is this good for travelling eg like put in luggage just in case airport loses the luggage and also by resting tag even u had it on lost mode
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
Excellent and clear instructions on the use of Apple Air Tags! Thank you.
Thanks glad it was helpful
Great Vid, Thanks. Can I store my extra AirTag without the battery since I don't use them? Thanks.
Thanks, yeah, I don’t see why not.
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. Great video.
Thanks glad to help!
In order for an airtag to work...if someone is tracking u do it work off of my bluetooth
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?
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
Does my airtag need to be close to any cellphone to be able to communicate with my iphone?
why it does not show on my iphone when I place the tag next to my phone to activate the tag. I even reset it , replace battery as you suggested
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.
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.
I’m having similar issues sometimes and I haven’t been able to fix it.
Exactly what I was trying to say up above. Although thinking about it that's probably what is happening.
Thank you so much.
No worries glad to help!
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 >
Your how to was more in detail than apple's tutorial. :)
Thanks!!!
How do i add apple air tag to my list of devices
Thank you!
No problem
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?
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?
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.
Thank you very much for the clear directions and visuals. You made it very simple.
No problem glad to help!
Great video, thank you
Thanks glad to help!
Thanks -- you should do Apple's videos -- comprehensive and easy to follow
Thanks! I wish I could do videos for Apple lol, doubt they know I exist though. Glad the video was helpful!
Thanks!
No problem! Glad the video was helpful!!
Well Done!
Thanks!
Thank you.
No problem
My situation: I have show dogs n want to to tag each dog n their travel crate in case they get stolen. It does happen so how can I set this up?
You thank you so much at you as a subscriber thumbs up all the way
Thanks for the sub! Glad I could help!
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 😮
Maybe, doesn’t seem to have that now but you can always login to iCloud on any device with your Apple ID and use the find my options.
If you have an Apple Watch, there is a feature that pings your phone. It's a life saver!
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.
excellent! thank you
No problem, glad to help!
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 notifications where it says notify when left behind, turn that on, and you will find that you can make an exception.
Thank You
No problem
Great video. If an airtag can't track my iphone 11, is there anyway I can track my iphone? I'm afraid of losing it.
You can search your phone with the find me app
Thank you for sharing this video, my find my have DIRECTIONS instead of FIND. What should I do?
What do you mean directions?
@@DHTV I want to send you a screenshot, I don’t know how?
I have a Twitter account you can DM me @dandepenta or Instagram @DHTVTech
I have the same problem. Any solution?
+1 here
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?
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
What happens when someone steals your bike or car. Should you call the police. Could be dangerous if you go seraching for your car and you run into some bad people. Do the police need your phone to get the assistants of the AirTags locations.
How about if I misplaced in the house low battery???thanks
It gives you that little direction system to look for it
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
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
Can’t share airtag location with family. 😢
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 ..
@@DHTVinteresting
Hey, does anybody know if I can "cut"/"sand off" a few mm of my apple air tag on each side (it so it fits in my bike)....?
Not sure to be honest
Just bought one to hide on my bike in case it gets stolen. But if it notifies the thief that an AirTag is moving with them, won’t this defeat the point of what I’m trying to do?
So kids are driving now and that's a headache. They drive a lot everywhere so with the airTag can I track them without them knowing it cause they also own a iphone too?
Well no that’s the thing. It has preventative measures inside to avoid possible criminals from stocking people and things like that. If the person in the car has an iPhone and the AirTag is not paired or being shared with their phone or Apple ID then they will get a notification that an AirTag is moving with them.
@@DHTV well I guess that would be a good thing so they know not to go too far. Thx I'll look into it.
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.
Do we get notifications on any iPhone or only on certain iPhone?
The phone it’s paired to or Apple ID device
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 don’t have the Find but it reads directions and gives me a huge map. How do I find that Find button
Where can I find the find green button, mines just says directions and has the whole map instead of the arrow
Would only pop up if it’s close range I believe.
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
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
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 you know when it’s time to change the battery?
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.
@@DHTV
Thank you. I new to the air tag stuff.
@@DHTVthank you, I didn’t even think about that.
Hi ! is there anyway i can share my AirTags with my family?
Not really, unless you remove it from one phone in the find my app and connect it to the other phone. Aside from that, you can’t have it viewed from two phones.
Yes, you can. My son bought a pack of 4 airtags and installed one of them on my wallet. We are not living in the same house. Everything works great.
Hi, thank you for the video. I just purchased a pack of AirTags, we want to use them to find our cat who is an escape artist. When we activate the tag, it does not show up on the map. The map is tracking my phones movement (very well), but not the tag. When I hit find, it will take me to the tag once I'm close enough, but that's not really going to help with a cat. Is that how it works? Shouldn't the tag show up on the map? It doesn't even show a last location for the tag. Any advise would be appreciated.
Yup! Exactly my experience!
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.
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.
Is there anyway to silence the air tag ?
Not that I know of.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for this video Daniel, I want to get an Apple AirTag one day, my name is Nick by the way
No worries glad the video was useful!
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.
Beats no notification at all.
I have one problem, after connection air tag to my iPhone , find my app continue working in background and draining my phone battery .. how to solve this issues ?
Unfortunately I’m not sure how to fix this. Maybe it’s glitchy and just restarting the iPhone will fix it.
@@DHTV yeah I did restart but its still there.. do you notice in your device issue like this ?
can you pair 2 phones to 1 tab
You can in a sense. You can connect it to one iPhone/Apple ID and then you can share it within the find my app to other apple ID. Note that the Apple iD it was connected to first has the control.
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.
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.
Can you link two phones to one AirTag
No it’s one phone I believe
Airtag is linked to your apple id, if your devices have a different apple id you will not be able to interact on those devices that have a different one.
How many air tags can be added to phone?
As many as you want I’d assume
Why does my air tag display “low battery” or “change battery” on my iPhone even after a new battery has been installed?
It could be that the new battery was faulty, old or not of good quality. There is a possibility of a glitch. I would try removing the battery from the AirTag, restart your iPhone, then put the battery back in the AirTag and see if it fixes the issue. If not, try another battery.
So these are good for tracking my luggage right this is why I bought it . I heard on the news how a lady lost her luggage and found it and it turned out an airport employee was stealing bags he was arrested
Yeah a lot of people use them with their luggage
I just bought one of these for this reason for my luggage/ but I have an iPhone 10 …will it not work?
How does someone know what to do if they find your “lost” item and have no clue what an Air-Tag is or that there’s even one hidden in that “lost” item or the person doesn’t own an iPhone?
Hold it towards the top of your phone and the nfc will trigger a notification to tap and it will provide info.
In that scenario they'd have to do some sleuthing. It's not really a lost and found type item for others unless they are air tag savvy. It's for you to do the tracking and the finding.
@@lynnmccoysloan7705 ; How do I track a lost item that has an Air-Tag in it if it’s just lying there somewhere in a field? I was on the impression that someone had to find it first with their iPhone and know what to do with it for you to receive its location. I think I’m missing the point here and need help in understanding how I can locate an Air-Tag that doesn’t have a built in GPS and needs someone with an iPhone to find it before I can know where it is.
Wait, if I put my AirTag in my truck (hidden) and someone steals my truck, AND they have an iPhone, won't they get the notification 'AirTag Found Moving With You', then the thief can disable my AirTag????
I’m having a hard time figuring it out myself but I believe that’s how it works. My testing, that’s what happen.
Yes. In short, its useless against bad people. They disable your tag and keep what the stole from you.
Typical Apple logic.
If you leave your backpack somewhere by mistake,a few miles away, and nobody (with an iPhone) sees it, how will you know where it is?
It's your job to realize you've lost your backpack, go to your Find My...and locate it via the map.
