Have you ever lost something — luggage, your keys, a backpack — and thought, “Man, I can’t wait until a Jetsons-style future when I can immediately push a button to know where my belongings are, and track them with a small device until I find them again?”
People love these trusty little trackers because they’re super simple to use. Here’s how they work:
Each AirTag can ping its own location, so when you attach it to one of your belongings, you can track that item via Apple’s Find My app, which is available in the cloud and on Apple devices like iPhones, laptops and more. Through Find My, you can even tell your AirTag to play a sound so it’s easier to find.
Every tag is completely encrypted for privacy, and even when it’s far away, it can anonymously and secretly use a network of Apple devices to send its location back to you. When you move away from an item like your keys, it can even send you a notice!
In addition to being water- and dust-resistant, AirTags have a wildly simple setup, and you can assign each one a name to keep your most valuable belongings sorted.
