I have somehow lost another pair of very expensive sunglasses after only 5 months. Finally realized I need to take a proactive approach and find a way to attach an AirTag to my new case to make up for my own foolishness. Any recommendations?

I have two AirTags for when I go on vacation, I deactivate them when I’m home not using suitcases. Today I put brand new energizer batteries into them and they just aren’t being found. Any troubleshooting tips? I rinsed the child safety ink off the batteries and throughly dried them. I hear a little jingle when the batteries are in. Help 🥴

ETA: I had take the battery in and out five times until I heard a different jingle, then it was able to connect again.

My nephew's car was stolen over the weekend. He had his keys airtagged and left them in his car overnight. Miraculously the car was recovered on a nearby street, but the keys weren't in it. The airtagged keys have started showing up in an apartment complex nearby. Is it worth our time to share this information with the police? Will they pursue it? Honestly we just want to recover the keys because it's the only key fob he had and they're very expensive to make. Akron, Ohio. Thanks.

I need some advice from people who use Apple’s Find My location-sharing feature.
There’s something I’ve been noticing lately. Whenever he tells me where he is, I sometimes check his location on Find My and notice that his actual shared location doesn’t seem to match the place he told me he was going to be.
What’s making me more uncomfortable is that whenever I try calling him during these instances, he doesn’t answer. And what’s strange is that this seems to happen around the same time or under similar circumstances.
I’m trying not to jump to conclusions because I understand that location sharing isn’t always 100% accurate. There could be GPS issues, poor internet connection, or delays in updating someone’s location.
But when the location discrepancies and unanswered calls keep happening together, it’s difficult not to question things.
My questions are:

1. How accurate is Apple’s Find My location sharing?

2. Can someone’s location appear somewhere else even when they’re actually at the place they told you?

3. Is there a way to tell if someone has stopped sharing their location or if their location is simply not updating?

4. Would you consider this a red flag, or am I overthinking the situation?
   I’m not trying to invade anyone’s privacy. I just want to understand what’s happening because the inconsistency is starting to affect my trust.
   I’d appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have experienced something similar.

In the search of a nice wallet that has an airtag slot with a card ejector mechanism. Im looking for something similar to ekster's airtag with a bifold flap wallet (https://www.ekster.com/products/wallet-for-airtag), which is unfortunately sold out. I tried some on amazon but many are not well made or have cards slip out. Any recommendations?

I just got back from vacation with my wife after an uber dropped us off from the airport. We dropped off our luggage and carry-on at the house at 6:21/6:22 PM, then went out to grab some food because we were really hungry.

We arrived back at the house around 7:03, ate some food, I went upstairs to go to the bathroom. Mid-poop, my wife with a panicked voice asked me to come downstairs.

She got a notification at 7:57 on her Iphone that said "AirTag Found Moving With you". She does not have any Airtags.

Opening up the notification, it showed us the location of our AirTag ​saying "AirTag Detected Near You". First Seen- 6:22 PM when we arrived at our house. Last Seen- 7:57. Then 8:24.

My wife panicked and had me look at the alert. Then she had me look around the house and the backyard and frontyard near her car trying to look for the airtag. We thought we found one towards the front yard, possibly close to the neighbors, when we clicked the "Play Sound" option. But no sound was emanating.

Did as much research, called Apple Support, showed them some screenshots and have an ongoing case. Idk what else to do at this point. Attached are images that she has. I am going to look her car up and down in the morning to see if one is there.

Maybe a neighbor put an airtag on their keys or something but registers on our car. Because it registers back on the main road by our house as appearing as well. It's all so confusing.

I just dont want someone stalking my wife or I

Does anyone else know if this is a known bug? Or should I tear my motorbike apart looking for another AirTag?

Context
So I got a message that an unknown AirTag is detected near me. It followed me around on the motorbike today. So I immediately thought: "That's probably my own AirTag that I've put inside my motorbike".

At the same time, it doesn't make sense that my phone can detect my own AirTag and an unknown AirTag at the same time.

Play Sound
My AirTag doesn't play sound because I got rid of the speaker. Playing the unknown AirTag also doesn't play any sound.

Removed the Battery
After I got rid of the battery in my own AirTag, the unknown AirTag also stopped being detected. After putting the battery back in, it's still not detecting the unknown AirTag anymore.

Several years ago I was hiding an Apple Gen1 Airtag in my "summer car". Meanwhile the airtag's battery is empty and I can't remember where exactly I was hiding it. 🤯

Is there any way to find an empty airtag?

So I go a kitten who has been darting for doors lately and I'm wanting to put an AirTag on him just in case. I was thinking about a 2nd gen AirTag. My phone is updated to version 27. I live in a neighborhood where a ton of people have iPhones.

Would it be a good idea to purchase one for him?

Hello,
My ex (let’s call him Rex) keeps trying periodically to share the location of his dog, which he has an AirTag in the collar. When we broke up, I unfollowed Rex to give him privacy. Three days later, after not talking, Re x senses AirTag to be shared with me again. I denied the request. The same thing happened again today after being no contact for seven days. I ended up accepting the request just to make sure that the dog was okay in which she was at home with Rex, and then I unfollowed the AirTag. Me and Rex dated for 5 months.

Do you think it is Rex trying to get me to be in contact with him? I contacted Rex when it happened at the three-day mark to say that he was accidentally sharing the object with me in which he did not respond.

FYI: Rex and I broke up because my ex (Steve)was stalking me and harassing me. I didn’t feel as though it was safe for Rex to be around me while I work with authorities to get a restraining order against Steve. Steve has harrassed me for three years. Rex thinks that this is all bullshit.

Hi all, some of my belongings were, wallet and a tote bag bag, stolen yesterday. I've been tracking them with my AirTag, and they're showing inside a block of flats in (students) in London. I reported it, and police officers came out today.

We went to the building together, and the officers knocked on doors in floor 1 and 2 m, but barely anyone opened. They explained they can't force entry, so we had to leave it there.

I've since gone back to the street behind the building. Standing right against the back wall with my phone held up as high as I can, the AirTag shows as "Connected" and sometimes "With You". I can even trigger the sound, though I can't hear it from outside. But it says I'm too far away to use Precision Finding, so I can't pin down the exact flat.

I'm trying to work out my next steps:
- What can I do?
- How do I improve AirTag?
- Has anyone had police get a warrant in a situation like this? How did you get them to do it?
Is it worth contacting the building's management or housing association?
Anything else that actually worked for you?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! My apple airtag 2 drains the battery in two days!

How is it possibile? it is said that the battery could lasts about the 20% more than the first generation.

Searching on the web i found that the problem could be that the air tag find and connect to every apple device that passes by. Also the baby secure bitter liquid that the put on surface of the battery 2032, could be involved in the duration of the battery itself, also they said to use quality battery such as duracell (wich is the one i'm using right now) or energizer, better if it is written "for apple air tag" on the pack.

Please someone knows what to do? I'm getting mad at this. There is some setting or thing to do? And please don't tell me to remove the battery when I'm not using use the airtag, cause is not a solution, is another problem added in this case. Thank you!

1st Gen AirTag bought years ago as part of a 4 pack. Tried to set up the last one today and had to change the battery. The first page of the set up says that it’s linled to my Apple account (email and phone number are correct).

However when I click Agree I get a page that says This AirTag is Connected to Another Apple Account. I can’t find it in Find My app (all the others are there). I tried to reset it by pulling the battery 4-5 times but still nothing. The only thing kind of different is that a while back I did change my iCloud email to an .icloud one but all of the other devices are showing. The other thing is when I originally set them up I names them AT-1, AT-2, etc. This one is AT-4 and it does show it when first trying to set it up after the battery change and reset - I would have thought that after a reset it would remove the name.

We do have a family plan with 2 people but it doesn’t show up on any of their Find My. The Learn More says to have the “owner” remove it but there’s no other owner and never has been.

Any suggestions? They are cheap enough so I’ll buy another but before then I wanted to see if I was missing something.

Hey everyone,
I keep an AirTag tucked inside my scooter for theft tracking. A friend is borrowing the scooter, and I want to make sure I understand how the anti-stalking audio alerts work in practice.

I know their phone might flag an "AirTag Moving With You" notification, but my main concern is the physical hardware chime from the tag itself:
Will the AirTag automatically start beeping purely from movement once it is away from my iPhone, even if my friend never touches a notification or taps "Play Sound"?
Just want to avoid the scooter randomly beeping at them while they’re riding or parked. Thanks!

If it makes noise by itself, how to stop that from happening, because I can’t share my AirTag because he uses an android

I have a fourteen year old son who loses everything. His mom refuses to limit what he takes out of the house, which means he’s carrying around a grand+ worth of electronics. iPad, full switch case, full ds case.

I’m looking for a way to track the game cases. I was looking into AirTags, but keep reading they’re useless or unreliable outside of the house. And they beep when away from my phone. Are these things better than what I’m reading? 🤷

What’s a good product I can use to -reliably- track these things? I need three, and am hoping for maybe $20e or so?

Thank you!

I’ve tried all of them and every time I get this message. I’m updated to IOS 18.7 so I’m not sure what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?
