Hi there Mitchla,

Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're asking if using an AirTag with an RFID-blocking wallet would be a problem. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.

To start, any type of metal has a very high interference potential for Bluetooth connections. The materials used in most RFID-blocking wallets typically include different types of metal. With that said, you may experience some interference or have difficulty using an AirTag with an item that has metal components. Have a look at this support article to learn more about Bluetooth interference in relation to metal:

We hope this information provides some clarity. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.

Take care.
