AirTag Found Moving Near You

hello! I received this alert which terrified me considering I don’t have an AirTag. My boyfriend and I follow one another and it said that the AirTag was detected at our house. When we got home we played the sound and found nothing…it kept saying that it was “unreachable”. Is there anyway this could be a mistake? I’m confused as to what’s going on and if I need to be concerned about someone planting a tracker on one of our cars.

Hi Sammsmith17,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


Please see: What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory, or set of AirPods is with you.


"Find the unknown AirTag, AirPods, or Find My network accessory


If you get an alert that an AirTag, AirPods, or another Find My network accessory is traveling with you, follow these steps to find it. First, check on the Find My app if you're able to play a sound on the unknown accessory:

  1. Tap the alert.
  2. Tap Continue and then tap Play Sound.
  3. Listen for the sound. You can play it again if you need more time to find the item.


If the option to play a sound isn't available, the item might not be with you anymore. Or if it was with you overnight, its identifier might have changed. Find My uses the identifier to determine that it's the same item moving with you. If the item is within range of its owner, you also won't be able to play a sound."


It sounds like you aren't able to find the airpod so we'd next recommend:


"If the option to play a sound isn't available, or if you're unable to hear the sound and you believe the item is still with you, look through your belongings to try to find it. Check on your person, or in anything in your possession that could contain this device. It could be in an item that you don’t check often, like a jacket pocket, the outer compartment of a bag, or your vehicle. If you can't find the device and if you feel your safety is at risk, go to a safe public location and contact law enforcement."


Have a fantastic day!
