To only “add on” for emphasis … the AirTag registration process requires a SOLID comms connection to the internet.


The tag is actually being registered to your AppleID … then to ALL of your other Apple Trusted Devices … via your phone.


Good communications are a MUST HAVE)


ALSO … hold the white side of the AirTag against the top-rear-center of the phone until it “reads” (it’s not always instantaneous)
