Use iPhone XS Find My app for AirTag precise location?

I have iPhone XS with updated software--does this phone support precision location in the Find My app? I have an AirTag as an Item in the Find My app on my phone. I have Precise Location turned on in the Find My app on my phone. However I do not get the "Find" option for precise location to find the AirTag--I just get "Directions" as an option. AirTag was just purchased within the last week directly from Apple.

Use Precision Finding to pinpoint the location of your item

If you have a supported iPhone model with Ultra Wideband and your AirTag is nearby,1 you can tap Find Nearby to help find it, even if it's stuck between couch cushions or hiding under a stack of mail.


Devices equipped with the Apple-designed Ultra Wideband chip have technology for spatial awareness. Learn which iPhone models and which countries or regions support Ultra Wideband. iPhone XS is not one of them


Use Precision Finding to pinpoint the location of your item

  • Open the Find My app, then tap the Items tab.
  • Choose your AirTag, then tap Find Nearby. ... 
  • Follow the onscreen instructions and move around the space until your iPhone connects to your AirTag.
