Hey there GeneHar,


Use the steps below to help get your AirTags added to your iPhone:


1. Go to the Home Screen on your iPhone.
2. Remove the battery tab from the AirTag (if applicable), then hold it near your iPhone.
3. Tap Connect on the screen of your iPhone.
4. Choose a name from the list or choose Custom Name to type a name and select an emoji, then tap Continue.
5. Tap Continue to register the item to your Apple ID, then tap Finish.

You can also register an AirTag in the Find My app. Tap the Add button, then choose Add AirTag.

If the item is registered to someone else’s Apple ID, they need to remove it before you can add it. See Remove an AirTag or other item from Find My on iPhone.

Take care!
