Can anyone tell me if a Samsung user will be alerted that an Apple AirTag is following them? I suspect my husband is having an affair and want to put a tag in his car but he has a Samsung and I’m worried it will say there’s an air tag following you!? Thank you
If I'm blunt, it's kinda ridiculous that on an iPad, iPhone or MacBook I can use a photo to label what my device is and yet, with air tags, I'm left feeling like a 12 year old when I look at my airtags for my items and I see a page full of emojis.
It's a ridiculous fact even contacts allow for rich meaningful descriptors, while the items on my airtag page look like a 12 year old vomited them up.
With definitive things like my car I'm left with options like an early 2000s VW beetle, and the key icon looks either like a door key first seen in the 19th century, or a standard house key.
hello! im planning to travel abroad and my cat will be left in my country. Would i still be able to track my cat with AirTag 2 even though im abroad?
It’s in a parking lot. Whenever I try playing sound or using directions it says “AirTag not reachable”. It literally says it’s with me but it’s not.
What do I do?
I am confused about 1st gen AirTags. Can AW 11 precision find the 1st gen ones or not? Seems new iPhones do but the watch info is saying it doesn’t.
Hello! My mother got her car back from a mechanic today, and as we drove home my phone picked up a wireless tag. It says to play sound, but no sound plays when I use it. However, the proximity scanner does work and I found its exact location area around the front driver seat area. I can't find the tag itself, and I'm worried that it might have been hidden in a really hard to get spot under the car seat. No sound is making it really difficult to find. Any tips or apps I can use to pinpoint exact location? Its a safety feature on my phone, but neither my mom or my brother's picked it up.
edit: Was not driving home from the mechanic, got the signal as I was in the car for the first time that day. Dad claims to have no knowledge of it and finds it weird. It says "Im here" on top and under the drivers seat.
Good day,
I’m sending my car from one side of Europe to the other, ca. 2300km. For security reasons, would it ve fesable to put an airtag inside and track it’s location from time to time? It will run mostly on highway, so other iphone might pass by during the trip.
Thank you.
The one time my cat decides to run away the stupid air tag won’t show her last location but only says “AirTag isn’t reachable” I’m losing my mind I should’ve bought a better tracker
a friend of mine just found an Apple Air Tag in his camper as he was cleaning it.
he didn't place it there himself
he's quite the paranoid person and I would be too if I found a tracker in my vehicle. He found it hidden under some cardboard boxes. it doesn't look old or damaged.
it absolutely doesn't make sense that he put it there and forgot about it as he never owned an Apple device. and it was in a weird place to put.
some people have been inside there, only one without his permission and he doesn't remember if the dude has an Apple so he can't really put the blame on him.
is there any way to find out when or from which device it was activated? it's not dusty or broken, just weird
I was wondering if anyone uses AirTag for bigger /long range drones as a just in case insurance… never seen it in builds.
Why when I try to connect an AirTag to my phone it gives me this message. Can’t find what to change in my settings. I already have an AirTag connected and it works. This would be my second one.
I'm looking to buy some location tags, or something, to help me find stuff around the house. If this is a question better posed in a different group please let me know! I'm not even sure a location tag is exactly what I want, from what I understand some of them show you the location of your tagged item as like, a dot over your whole house. I need to be able to find things in different rooms. I have ADHD and lose important things frequently. I'd like to be able to attach them to things like my keys and tv remote, but it would need to at least be able to show me what room in my house the lost item is in, instead of just like a dot over my whole house. If it could somehow leave me straight to the item that would be great. Alternatively, maybe something that beeps when I press a button/activate an app would work well too. I'm only looking for things inside my house. I'm completely unfamiliar with this technology so any direction is helpful. I know Apple has some kind of location tags, but I'd rather use something with android since that's what I have. I could use my grandmother's iPhone but honestly I'm not sure how much longer she'll be with us. Thank you for your help!
My wife’s best friend just drove from Maryland to Texas. When she got to Texas she told us that her phone told her that there was an AirTag following her. So she called her boyfriend and asked him about it and he said that he put it in her car so he could make sure that she made it here safe!
A few days later, I used her car and got the same alert. I checked “Find My” and found the AirTag hidden in the trunk, tucked into the felt lining. That makes it seem like it was placed there deliberately and not meant to be found.
What’s also weird is she works from home and barely travels, so it feels like it’s probably been there longer than just that one trip.
I’m not buying his explanation. Am I overthinking this?
i just herd my airtag made a sound i never have herd that sound before and i looked in my find my app the battery is about to be dead and i just order some new batteres on Amazon and this is mine first time replaceing the battery in my airtag and i hope its easy to open the airtag and after i put new battrey in is my airtag still on my find my app let me know.
Today I received a notification stating that there was an unknown AirTag near me or following me. I’ve only received the notification once so far, but what is concerning me is the timing. At 1:04 I was in my house and just got done with a telehealth appt. There’s 3 red lines going from a random old folks home to me. I can’t locate it or alarm it from the find my app. I do have an AirTag myself however it rings when I alarm it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Im hoping someone can help me with some information as I dont have an iPhone and dont use trackers.
My husband stopped at a gas station near us this morning before heading to work. He got to work around 7:35ish, parked, and was ready to go in. He goes about his day until lunch. At lunch, he sees an
AIRTAG DETECTED notification on his phone. It says it was first detected today at 7:40 am. He has to go back to work but wants to look for it on his last break. Last break comes, and he's trying to play the sound, but it will not play.
It also says it can not be detected. It won't play the sound, nothing. I doubt someone came and took it off because its a small company so someone would have questioned a random car coming into their parking lot.
Could the airtag still be there and just be dead? It seems unlikely it would be any of his new coworkers. We have a toddler, so I'm just a little extra freaked out and paranoid.
Hello, I hope I am not just being paranoid (21M).
I got this notification from my phone and apple maps opened, where it showed points being recorded of basically:
where I work -> route I take home -> my home
I tried playing a sound but heard nothing.
potentially it could be on my car but I don't want to check as its currently midnight writing this and I don't want to step outside my home.
Thank you for anyone who replies.
My fiancé and I live in a condo so we have limited storage.
Condo offers free bike racks located in the parking garage. Since the parking garage has a lot of traffic I was thinking of putting a AirTag on my bike. (And bike locks ofc)
I see things on Amazon you can put the AirTag in. Like on a bell for the bike or a water bottle holder. I never had an AirTag before and I haven’t bought it yet. Apparently it beeps. If my bike gets stolen, I wouldn’t want the person to remove the AirTag if they hear it beeping.
Should I still get it anyway?
One AirTag was connected to my key fob (always forgetting where it was) and my iPhone recently reported it as low. So I replaced the battery with a brand new one. It chirped when I installed it...but my iPhone can't see it at all now.
A second AirTag was in my wife's car and it probably died some time ago (never reported as low in "Find My"). Dug it out and put in a new battery. Same thing, iPhone now able to detect it.
Any clue how to make these things work again? In the past I swapped batteries and nectar had an issue. One of them I removed from my iPhone and tried to re-add...nothing.
Thanks in advance
