Hey Dude13-,


We'd recommend reviewing this article as it explains your options for removing the AirTag from the old Apple ID: If an item or device is connected to another Apple ID - Apple Support


"Remove a Find My network accessory or device from an Apple ID

Use these steps to remove devices such as AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and iPhone Leather Wallet, Apple items such as AirTag, or Find My network accessories from an Apple ID.

These steps also unpair the device or item from an Apple ID. When you unpair the device or item from the Apple ID, you also remove Find My Lock, which is the association of the device or item with an Apple ID. Find My Lock needs to be removed before you can pair the device or item with a different Apple ID.

  • If the device or item is paired with the Apple ID of the previous owner, the previous owner needs to follow these steps to remove the device or item from their Apple ID.
  • The device or item doesn't have to be connected via Bluetooth to the iPhone or other Apple device that is used to remove it from an Apple ID — but the process might happen more quickly if it's Bluetooth-connected and within Bluetooth range.

These steps are the only way to remove and unpair a device or item from an Apple ID, and remove Find My Lock. They can be performed from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Mac that's signed in with the same Apple ID. Apple can't remove Find My Lock for you.


How to remove AirPods, AirTag, or another Find My network accessory or device from an Apple ID on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the Find My app, then tap the Items tab or Devices tab.
  2. Tap the item or device you want to remove, then swipe up on the handle.

After you tap an item or device in the Find My app, swipe up to see more options.


3 .Tap Remove Item or Remove This Device, then tap Remove to confirm.

Tap Remove Item to remove an time from Find My and remove Find My Lock."
