AirTag Setup
- Take remove the tab from your AirTag. When you remove the battery tab, your AirTag should make a sound.
- Then, place the AirTag close to your iPhone. If your iPhone does not instantly recognize your AirTag, lock your screen by pushing the power button on the side of your iPhone once. Then, unlock your iPhone and place it near your AirTag once more.
Note: If you are still unable to connect to your AirTag, ensure that Find My, Two-factor Authentication, Bluetooth, WiFi, and Location Services are all enabled. If it still isn't connecting, you may remove the battery from your AirTag by turning the back counter-clockwise. Then insert the battery and press down until a sound is heard.
Resetting an AirTag to its factory settings can be done by following these steps:
- Remove the battery cover from your AirTag. This can be done by pressing down and twisting the silver back of the AirTag.
- Remove the battery from the AirTag.
- Wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery. When you reinsert the battery, you should hear a sound indicating that the AirTag is powering back on.
- Repeat the process of removing and reinserting the battery five times. On the fifth time, you should hear a different sound. This indicates that the AirTag has been reset to its factory settings.
Please note that resetting your AirTag will remove it from your Apple ID and it will stop appearing in your Find My app. You will need to pair it with your device again if you want to continue using it.
Also, be aware that this process will not remove any Activation Lock that may be on the AirTag. If the AirTag is linked to an Apple ID via Activation Lock, you will need the Apple ID and password to remove the lock.
