How to update AirTag Location

I am expecting to see the real time location of the airtag when I am away from it but it only updates the location when I get near to it.


For example, I leave the house at 7AM and then in the office, it says last location at 7AM. I have family members at home with mobile devices and has bluetooth enabled but the location only updates when I get home at 5PM.


I already reset the airtag, same issue.


How can I make this airtag to update it's location even though I am not near it.

Hi miyalung,


We're glad you've reached out through Apple Support Communities for help with your AirTag. We're happy to help in any way we can.


So you're aware, an AirTag may update its location periodically when within range of an Apple device configured for use with the Find My network. If it's not updating its location when you're away from home, you'll want to ensure that your family members are using compatible Apple devices updated to the latest software versions.


The following guide has more information:

It's important to note that "the Find My network isn't supported in South Korea and might be unavailable in other regions due to local laws."


We're here for you if you've got any questions.


Have a great day!
