Find My iPhone system

You can add your iPad to the Find My system.

Add your iPad to Find My - Apple Support

For an iPad, Find My can work either through the Internet (if the iPad has an Internet connection), or through the Find My network system (see support article). However, if your iPad's battery charge gets too low, your iPad will stop sending location updates.

AirTags also need power, though less of it – they're supposed to work for about a year on each battery.

Hey there! You iPad can be tracked like an AirTag just with out the Precision Tracking. You can sound a noise, Lost mode, and get directions.

Hope I helped!
