airtag location not updating

My airtag location is not updating. It only updates when I am near the airtag. My husband is home with bluetooth on and airtag in the same area and will not show the updated location of the airtag. How do I go about fixing this problem?

Your husband's iPhone must participate in the Apple's Find My Network, in order for it to relay your AirTag's information to the Apple servers. To do so, the following needs to be enabled on his phone: • Find My: Settings > Apple ID > Find My > Find My iPhone > Find My iPhone • Find My Network: Settings > Apple ID > Find My iPhone > Find My network • Location Services: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Location Services • Bluetooth: Settings > Bluetooth > Bluetooth


His phone must also have an active Internet connection, either via a cellular or Wi-Fi connection.
