airtag help, broken?
Bought my first airtag, attached to my wallet, activated and see it under my devices in the find my app.
To test it out, left it at my house while I went to gym.
when I was done at gym I brought up the find my app, and it said my AirTag was last seen more than an hour ago.
but NOT where it is now.
I tried turning on lost mode, maybe that triggers it to start pinning location.
nothing.
it didn’t respond til I was ten foot away at home again saying it was found.
I thought it was supposed to piggy back on other phones anonymously and ping it’s location. There are four other devices with location services turned on at the house. Small house, 3 devices are within 2m, one 4m away.
I have seen people on YouTube saying they know their luggage got to the airport because their AirTag shows it there. Thousand mile trip and it knows where their tag is, I went a mile and a half away and mines just saying “last seen at 9:58pm”m more then 1.5 hours ago where it WAS not where it IS.
Is it broke? Did I do something wrong? Do they actually work like advertised or did I waste more money?
thanks for any help
