AirTag not showing on map when away from home
AirTag only shows last seen at home not where it actually is when away from home
iPhone (2)
Does it need to be an iphone or even an android phone within 30ft works?

I bought one for my daughter. I attached it to the inside of her backpack (she's only five) in case the bus is late I can see where she is at. Or when she goes to her grandmother's, I can randomly check her location. The air tag is never in real time. It's always "17 minutes ago" or some other time shown, but not at that precise moment. The air tag is useless if I'm looking to see where her bus is but it still has her at school.

it need to be an iphone and the iphone needs to have bluetooth enabled and have an active connection to the internet and bluetooth is more like around 30meters really
You have all that and not reporting back the location at least not the air tag the iPhone yes reports back where it is live
I ended up having to share the air tag location with the person watching them in order for it to update. But didn’t have that issue with my luggage.
Were the Airtags previously shared?
AirTag is giving me the last seen location not now location
