Airtag says it’s with me when it’s not.

I have two AirTags set up on my account. One is on my keys, so is always with me, and the other is on a bag that I don’t take all the time. When I am out, it always says the second AirTag is with me even though I know I have left it at home. I tried removing it and repairing it but that has not fixed the problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Airtags alerting that item is no longer with me when it is I use multiple Airtags. Recently I have been getting alerts that an Airtagged item is no longer with me when it is with me. It can take up to an hour for the Airtag to register that it is with me. Is there anything I can do to update or resynchronise my airtags so that they are registering correctly?

New Airtag already connected to another Apple ID Hi everyone, I need some help with an AirTag I purchased in September 2023. I opened the box but didn't configure it right away. Now, when I try to set it up, it says it's already configured with another Apple ID. I've tried resetting it using the method of removing the battery four times, but it hasn't worked. I have no idea which Apple ID it might be connected to so I can't remove it. I bought the AirTag from the official Apple website, and I still have the box and the receipt to prove it's mine. Does anyone know how to reset it or fix this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Airtag Unknown problem This one even has Apple baffled..I have an XR with latest software. Bought Airtag to track our pet. Set up as instructed. Airtag showing up on "Find my" BUT, it is showing as always with me. i.e. if I walk down the garden the tag shows as still being with me, even though it is 100ft away. So wherever my phone is the Airtag is with it. I have reset EVERYTHING. Location settings, Network settings, even tried it on a different phone and still the same issue. Apple said send it back to them which I did. New one received this morning and still the same issue. This screenshot was taken with the tracker still in the house.ANY ideas welcome.

Hey Snippity,

To clarify, does it specific whatever you've named this AirTag or does it state it is an "unknown accessory"?

Also, in the Find My app under the Items sections o you see items moving with you? You can tap on that section to view more info.

If the issue persists however, we'd advise contacting Apple Support for assistance.
