An Apple AirTag is an individual tracking device that securely broadcasts its location using Bluetooth wireless networking.

A single AirTag retails for $ 29 direct from Apple , and can be bought for around $24 from most outlets that sell electronics.

Once you find a use for a solitary AirTag you'll soon think of other things you want to track.

An AirTag sends out a low-power Bluetooth signal containing an encrypted ID.

Any nearby iPhone, iPad or Mac picks up the signal, adds its location coordinates.

It's possible to share an AirTag 's location with up to five people.

If someone finds the tag and checks it, you can have a phone number or email displayed, plus an optional message.

However, for phones with NFC chips installed, you can place a found AirTag against the back of the device to view information about it. For more, learn about this year 's best AirTag accessories and everything about Apple Intelligence ..
