Hello,


Sorry to hear your AirTags are not working as expected.


Check to see if you are meeting the following requirements:

  • An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 or later and two-factor authentication turned on
  • Find My turned on
  • Bluetooth turned on
  • A strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection
  • Location Services turned on: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services
  • To be able to use Precision Finding and to see the most accurate location for your AirTag, turn on Location Access for Find My. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, then scroll down and tap Find My. Check While Using the App or While Using the App or Widgets. Then turn on Precise Location


*Keep in mind that CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.


If they still do not connect:

  • Reset your AirTag: How to reset your AirTag - Apple Support (CA)
  • Reset network settings on your iPhone: Open Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. (This option also erases known Wi-Fi passwords so be sure to have your Wi-Fi passwords on hand after the reset)


Hope this helps!
