Play a sound

1. Open the Find My app.

2. Choose the Devices tab or the Items tab.

3. Select your missing device or item, then choose Play Sound. If your device is offline, it won't play a sound until it connects to a network. If the AirTag attached to your item is out of Bluetooth range, your AirTag won't play a sound until it's within range. 

For 24 hours after your last use, your iPhone will also notify you if you leave your AirPods or Beats products out of Bluetooth range when you're not in a significant location like home or work. Learn more about Notify When Left Behind. 

Let us know if that's able to help.

Take care!
