TrackingThe idea with an AirTag is simple: Attach it to something you might lose. If you do misplace the item, you can use the Find My app to locate it again.

Using an iPhone 12 Pro with a U1 chip made it easy to locate items within close distances. A capable iPhone can point you in the direction of an AirTag within inches.
