For some unknown reason, one of my AirTags cannot be located

I bought 4 AirTags 6 months ago. Yesterday for some unknown reason one of my AirTags cannot be located, the rest are fine. Any ideas?

... so your friend had it, and then, lost it? If that is the case, then (as others have already mentioned) another iPhone, with Find My Network enabled, needs to be nearby in order for this AirTag's location to be transmitted to the Apple servers by that phone.


However, if the battery is depleted or the AirTag is located in such a manner that its broadcast cannot be sent out, it will not be discoverable by any iPhone.
