Hold the tag - white side up - near the back of your iPhone. (be patient, it’s not always instantaneous)

When the NFC tag is “read,” it will pop-up a URL.

Click the popup to browse to the URL. (it’s browsing to Apple’s FindMy Network servers)

If the owner has placed the AirTag in “Lost Mode” and added a message, it will appear here.

If not, the tag’s only value is “recycling” … as it can NOT be reset or reused w/o the paired owner.
