If you are having a hard time twisting the AirTag open, I found a trick that worked well for me. After struggling to open it for an hour, I took two pieces of scotch tape and looped them over so they were sticky on both sides. I put one the front and one on the back, which allowed me to grip the covers and rotate counter clockwise until it opened.

The trick is less pressure. Counter intuitive unfortunately.
the design of the airtag and how hard it is to open has got to be one of the epic fails in history of apple’s “it should just work” model.
it is all form that opposes function.
I struggled aswell. It didn't work, pushing and turning, nothing happened. The trick however is don't use too much force. Pusch gentle and I am sure it will work. If you push too hard you push the innertag hard against the case and it won't move...
I could not get the tape trick to work but it did inspire me to find another solution. Finger cots and a jar opener!
I cant get this thing open using tape or any other way. My thumbs are now so freaking sore I can't stand the pain. I was able to do this on my other one but this one no way. I am so agitated bu thins. Someone need to design a tool for this. URGHHHHH
The sticky tape trick above worked for me. I used packaging tape (not scotch tape) in a loop on the top and bottom. I used medium pressure and it worked pretty well.
I can’t open mine
it’s been 2 hours
annoying
YES!!! The tape hack worked for me after struggling for a couple of hours trying everything to get the case to open. THANK YOU!
Pour les francophones :
Prendre deux morceaux de scotch.
Pour chacun d'eux, faire une boucle avec l'adhésif tourné vers l'extérieur
Coller chaque boucle sur un des cotés de l'AirTag.
Agripper chaque boucle et faire tourner dans les sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre.
Hop, c'est ouvert !
Thank you thank you thank you! I have worked about 6 hours trying to get my AirTag open. The piece of tape doubled back, one loop on the top and one loop
om the back, turn counterclockwise, BAM it’s open!
Hi bobhag,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you don't see your AirTag in Find My on your iPhone.
It sounds like you may need to reset your AirTag then set it up again. This article explains how to reset your AirTag by removing the battery: How to reset your AirTag - Apple Support
"An AirTag can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use an AirTag that someone else has used, they need to remove the AirTag from their Apple ID first. If the previous user removed the AirTag from their Apple ID but they were out of Bluetooth range of the AirTag, then you need to reset it before you can use it with your devices.
Here's how to reset your AirTag:
Take care!
ChucklesDad; thank you, that was genius!!!
I did the same thing ChucklesDad suggested. Only thing I did different was wrap my index finger with scotch tape sticky side out so the tap didn't slip when pressing down and turning counter clock wise. Also Duracell and Energizer CR2032 batteries are a bit too thick. Panasonic CR2032 batteries fit perfectly.
I tried the tape “fix” with super sticky carpet tape and still could not get the chrome disc to rotate independent of the ceramic (plastic?) one. I put it in the freezer overnight and using the tape method they came apart easily.
