How to use Apple AirTag with iPhone
Apple’s AirTags have made their mark on the market. These beacon-style devices allow you to keep track of lost items, purses, wallets, and even your car keys. You have to attach them to the elements of your choice and follow them with your iPhone. So, if you’ve recently received or been given an AirTag as a gift (or are planning to buy one), here’s our complete guide on how to use Apple AirTag with your Apple iPhone.
When you take an AirTag out of the box, the first thing to do is add it to your iPhone and pair it.
To know all the things you can do with this Apple tracker, tap on the tracker name as shown below. A tap on Play Sound will enable a high-pitched sound, while a tap on Find will show you where your AirTag is.
If you want to test its full strength, you can keep it in a far corner of your home, then tap Find to find the tracker via your phone.
If you are sure the tracker is nearby, you can also ask Siri to locate it for you. You can just say “Hey Siri, find my tracker”. If it’s nearby, it will locate it and ring it. Beautiful, is not it?
The good thing about the Apple AirTag is that you can give it different names. If you want to change its name, you can do it without any problems. To make the name more fun, you can add an emoji as well. Here’s how you can do it.
If you are not satisfied with the presets, you can also add a custom name. For that, scroll down in the name list and tap on Custom. Here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of giving it a random name, you can just add an emoji. Nice, we would say.
You may already know that the AirTag has misure anti-stalking integrate. In the unfortunate event that your iPhone detects an unknown tracker moving with you, it will notify you. However, if you share the tracker with your friends and family, it makes sense to turn off this feature to avoid unnecessary alerts and notifications.
Note that even if the security alerts are off, you will still be able to see the location of the tracker. It’s just that you won’t get the alerts. It is best to unpair it with your current iPhone and connect it to the new owner’s phone if you are lending it for an extended period.
If you have lost your AirTag, you can put it in Lost Mode. Once lost mode is activated, it will notify you if it is within range of your phone.
As mentioned above, AirTags have built-in anti-stalking measures. One of the best things is that the tracker will make a sound if it doesn’t detect its owner for a long time. If you happen to find someone else’s AirTag during your evening walks (or mountain hikes), it’s easy to find the owner’s information.
The Apple Airtag can also be paired with other iPhones. The reassociation process is quick and easy and the job is done in minutes. Although we would have preferred the recovery mechanism to be a little different.
