5 Amazing Ways to Use an AirTag

Apple AirTags are little, coin-sized trackers that use the Find My network. This implies that as long as a new iPhone model is available, the location of your AirTag will be updated on the map. Given the iPhone’s global popularity, AirTags and Find My Devices are the most powerful trackers of this type available.

AirTags are typically attached to keys, wallets, and handbags. However, there are various inventive ways to use Apple’s tracker, and we’ve listed five of them below.

1. Collars for pets
For when your pets go missing.

Apple did not create AirTags to track pets. According to the manufacturer, they were designed to locate personal items. Nonetheless, they’re reliable for tracking your dog’s or cat’s position. These trackers have an IP67 classification, making them water- and dust-proof. This implies that your pets’ AirTags should continue to function correctly even if they get muddy, unclean, or damp. It also means that you can safely shower them while wearing the tracker.

There are several stories on the internet about AirTags assisting people in finding their missing pets, and I used to attach one to each of my dogs’ collars until we had to part ways.

2. To keep track of your children
It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Another great application for AirTags is tracking your children. An AirTag could help you find your missing child if something goes wrong when you’re traveling, walking down a public street, or sending them to preschool. You may put it in one of their pockets or, if they wear one, in their backpack. However, depending on your child’s age, you may want to carefully conceal it to ensure that it is totally out of their sight or reach. You don’t want them tampering with it or trying to consume it.

3. When sending important objects
Packages are sometimes lost by shipping providers.

We’ve undoubtedly all heard horror stories about missing or stolen deliveries. While some goods may be insured, certain products are priceless, and trying to receive helpful answers from customer service when a delivery is lost can be exhausting. As a result, affixing an AirTag to the boxed object is not a bad idea. You may also communicate the AirTag’s current location with the recipient so that you are both aware of its location. If something goes wrong during the shipment, you may locate the package and know which transfer unit it was left in.

When the delivery comes, the other recipient can remove the battery to maintain its power until they need to return anything to you. Alternatively, you could detach it from your Apple ID so that they could couple it with theirs and track their possessions.

4. When traveling, 
Customers may confirm that their luggage arrived safely.

Another useful application for the AirTag is luggage tracking. At airports, luggage-related mistakes are common. Bags are sometimes left behind, while other times they are delivered to the wrong location. Leaving an AirTag in your suitcase can help you confirm that your bag made it aboard the plane or arrived at its destination. When you get to the destination airport, you may even rely on Precise Finding to identify it on the baggage carousel.

5. As a vehicle anti-theft measure
Many people have used AirTags to recover stolen vehicles.

We’ve heard of people using AirTags to find lost automobiles, trucks, or bikes. While thieves can scan the vehicle and detect a hidden AirTag, it is possible that many of them will not think of it. It’s a good idea to hide one somewhere that isn’t immediately accessible or apparent. If your automobile is stolen, you will need to hunt it down immediately because the AirTag will soon start generating sounds that will alert the burglar to its presence. If they have an iPhone, iOS will very likely tell them that an AirTag is following them.
