RE: Thoughts on Air tags?
Except it’s not actually GPS, Airtags do not have a GPS receiver. They are strictly Bluetooth devices which connect to whatever compatible device they can find and then the location is updated via that device’s location services. The actual Airtag is not a very smart device at all which is also why they are as cheap as they are.

RE: Thoughts on Air tags?
Hi. I have air tags on my suit case, both my back packs, my keys, my wallet and my three cats. They’re easy to set up. I haven’t yet actually lost something and had to find it using the tag but I have played with them and they work great. If you have one of the phones with lidar you can get practically on top of the item.

Re: Thoughts on Air tags?
Putting them on your luggage is a fantastic use for AirTags. I have an AirTag on the collar of each of my dogs. One of them got out of the yard and I found him about three or four streets over because he came next to somebody who had a iPhone and that was able to send me the information for where that person was at the time they were near my dog. There are also some wallets and keychains that have AirTag holders so if you are somebody who tends to lose your keys or your wallet, you can put an AirTag on them and find them pretty easily. You use the Find My iPhone app to track your AirTags. On the bottom third tab in is for items and that’s where they will show up. It’s very easy to use it’s accessible and I think you’ll enjoy them Sent from my iPhoneOn Nov 27, 2023, at 8:22 PM, portillo@gmail.com wrote:Greetings,I’ve never used or worked with Apple Air Tags before, but I was thinking of getting a few, as I’m traveling and thought it would be great to put on my luggage and such.
