Air Tag not reachable

My air tag is paired with an iPhone 8plus. I am testing the play sound function and it often responds with “Air Tag Not Reachable, Move around to connect”. I may be 10 feet away. It doesn’t seem to provide much time to connect before Responding with the error message. I tried the routine resets, reboots.


Also the sound is is very low. If the locator is in a bag or buried in a couch, it’s barely audible.


Maybe this was designed to work with just iPhone 11 or 12 and the U1 chip?

Hello,

"Precision Finding" only works with iPhone 11 & 12. See this for more detail:
