Hey there Oceanquestdiver,


We recommend looking over the details below to clarify how to locate your AirTag:


If the item can be located: It appears on the map so you can see where it is. The location and timestamp appear under the item’s name. The item’s location is updated when it connects to the Find My network.


You can also find the precise location on a supported iPhone using these steps:


If you have a supported iPhone and are near your AirTag, you can find its precise location.
Tap Items at the bottom of the screen, then tap the nearby AirTag.
Tap Find, then do any of the following:
Move closer to the AirTag: Start moving around to locate the AirTag and follow the onscreen instructions. You may see an arrow pointing in the direction of the AirTag, an approximate distance telling you how far away it is, and a note if it’s located on a different floor.
Play a sound: Tap the Play Sound button to play a sound on the AirTag.
When you locate the AirTag, tap the Close button.


For additional guidance, including the details above, use this link:
