Cat escaped from owners RV wearing Air Tag. Owners were unable to locate the cat. They eventually had to leave & live 6+ hours from campground. Owners shared the Air Tag with locals attempting to recover the cat. The owners have received a couple of pings around the campground with cat’s location. The ping notifications are received days later. For example: a “last seen on November 3” was received on November 6th. The locals the Air Tag was shared with are not receiving any ping notifications. The campground has closed for the season; therefore the number of people with iPhones has decreased significantly.

Any ideas what could be causing the delays, issues, and/or pointers to ping the Air Tag? Thank you in advance for any feedback that may help this Kitty get home 😸

My mom, got a notification that she is being tracked by AirTag we checked her clothes we checked her purse and shoes we still can't find she doesn't want to drive it won't contact so we can't play a sound to find it I checked outside but can't find anything can an apple watch track like an air tag?

accuracy question— airtag is in a car, the car parked and was stationary in parking lot for hours. i saw the “last seen..” and “now..” was at that location for several hours. suddenly i looked and it said “1 minute ago Xyz Shopping Center”. I watched it for a few minutes and it stayed there “Last seen 4 minutes ago..” and then jumped back (no movement, just literally went from mystery shopping center location to the original parking lot location as “Now”.) this shopping center would be roughly a 2 minute drive, at least 0.2 miles apart.

my question is - if an air tag did not move, would the air tag location reflect a new address at any given point of time? so would an air tag “move” without having been moved? if it’s stationary, can it ping something .2 miles away? if an airtag sits in one place, would there be any reason it’s “location” update would ever change?

everything i read so far said that it operates off bluetooth and not gps. and that it doesn’t have a very large range and will only “ping” off nearby bluetooth devices within a few feet, etc.

the area is urban and crowded, so i assume lots of devices to ping off of, however its an area known for having poor cell phone service and sometimes wifi in this building (where the car was parked) isn’t always secure.

My mom (70 yo) will be travelling “alone” internationally for the first time. And during her transit we are not sure if her cell phone will work or she will have wifi or internet access. So was wondering if we use AirTag to locate her and give her confidence that she won’t be lost (we know one can get hardly lost at airport, but she doesn’t know 😉).

Anyway, if the answer is yes, then should I register an AirTag with my iPhone14 and she carry it with her? And then I track? But in that case will the AirTag start playing the alarm after few hours?

Or she registers the AirTag with her iPhone15 or apple id and then she shares the airtag with me so that I can see the location (I heard airtag can be shared in iOS17 onwards).

Any other ways you suggest? Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Not sure if I’m in the right community here…apologises if I’m not! A ‘friend’ (I’d never mentioned I was even considering getting an AirTag- I wasn’t) bought me what appeared to be a brand new AirTag. Occasionally I miss place an item.., might I add just in the house…never whilst out, so not big deal) They appeared to be opening the box as they came to me & were Keen that I set it up on my phone myself whilst they stood next to me. Few hours later the sound for the AirTag went off and this person was chuckling whilst I looked abit baffled. In my ‘find my phone’ there’s all of their device details and a relatives. I felt quite uneasy about it …I think I’ve removed the tag from ‘fine my phone’… the tag is currently in a cupboard.. I’m considering posting it to a friend overseas … My question- had this person already registered/put this on their phone so they could track the location or is it possible to track a tag that you’re not ‘linked’ to, without my AppleID? Am I being abit paranoid…or is my gut right

And it will NOT connect to the phone. My mom, who has cognitive impairment, has an air tag on her bag and keys. Her keys were last seen Tuesday night at 9 PM. The tag seems to be tracked to somewhere in her building, and we’ve torn her tiny apartment up looking for them (she lives in assisted living). I’ve tried SO many things, but have had no luck. Are we out of luck?

Hey guys,

I am thinking of installing a airtag on my 5 years old shoes as a measure of extra security.

I do not have an IPhone. I read online it does work also with android. is that true?

does these air tags show up when they are only surrounded with android devices? i read online that google and apple are sharing information? correct me if i am wrong.

thanks alot.

Hey, I'm looking for a new wallet and have seen a lot of recommendations for Vionentus wallets. It comes with a built-in slot for AirTag, which is a nice bonus and is made of full-grain leather. I'm looking for honest reviews from those who have already used their wallets. Thanks!

Recently start using AirTag and when the tag is away from my phone, it still said the tag is at home on find me, where as it tracks and show up on my partner’s phone, did I set it up wrong? Or some special click that I missed?

I hear of all these parents putting an air tag in their kids shoe in case they run off or while they are with a babysitter. Don’t they beep when the phone is far away? How does this work? I have a toddler and am now understanding the appeal

Hello, i live in Belgium and my bike got stolen. I know which house is it, I pressed charges and called the police but the owners don’t want the police to go in (obviously) what can I do to get back my bike ? I know it’s in the house, I tried to located and the arrow appeared. Isn’t the AirTag a sort of « caught in the act » ?

My son told me to buy one for my keys but we cut communication and I understood his explanation.

My dog ​​ate his about half an hour ago and the truth is we only see each other waiting for the lake to pass, I'm still waiting for the response from his vet

I want to put it in my travel suitcase but I don't want to lose the location at some point.

The truth is that I am a very clumsy person and my wallet (where I want to put the airtag) has ended up with puddles, soda glasses, ice shacks and more

I don't have an iPhone and I would like to know if there are search devices that I can use on my Android

I have had the device for more than a year but a week ago it just stopped working. I would like to know if it is normal or just bad luck.

I'm going on vacation to Peru and I want to put the airtag in my suitcase, I don't know if the device needs a mobile network to work or is independent

so i want something to put on the keys of my house, but im always running out of battery, can an airtag be visible for other people, in this case, my wife lol

Been trying out a few AirTag wallets, ordering a few from different websites but none of them were of high quality.

What's the best wallet you've seen or used? Thanks!

i just got a puppy for my birthday, is it okey if i buy an airtag and put it in his collar?

Hello,

Every evening, returning home from work, I am forced to find parking in different places due to the many cars present. Sometimes I am even forced to park in front of other buildings that are not too close to mine. Basically, the problem is that often, I forget where I leave the car in the evening. In the morning, if I'm unlucky, I even lose 15 minutes to find it. Could using an airtag be useful in this case?

On the way home from picking up the niece from daycare (brother’s 4yo daughter), I placed my phone on her packpack. Glancing at the ohone after awhile, I see the notification that there’s an airtag. I find the airtag cloth pinned to the bottom of the backpack. I didn’t know about it. I ask my brother and he didn’t know about it. Quickly I realize she has known everywhere I have been when I’ve picked up the niece from daycare and gone to parks or whereever.

A quick read and Apple says tags used to track people without consent is a crime. What legal options do I have to protect myself and, if possible, make her stop.

I understand that she’ll say her intentions to find the bag should it be lost, but I feel that stops when my brother has custody. Does her right to track the bag supercede our right to privacy?

If there’s a better place to post this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Im 18 and I currently found out that my pare put an air tag on my backpack without my permission and consent. I skipped school just for one day to relax and found out i was being tracked I didn’t know what to do so I ripped my backpack open and tried finding out where it was and found it. I still have the airtag and dont know what to really do with it or if i should confront them about tracking me without telling me.

I rented a car from a National car rental company at the airport. I had a very uncomfortable interaction with an employee at the company but brushed it off. Hours later I got a notification that an AirTag had been with me since I got the rental. My family helped me dig through everything and it was found encased somewhere in the car where it had to be deliberately placed. I went to the cops but they did nothing but take a statement. I have the serial number. Will apple give me the name of who it is registered to? The car rental company says it is NOT there’s and I was supposed to get a call from the manager and never heard from them. I have the email it’s registered to but can’t find the email anywhere on the internet.
