One year ago, Apple introduced AirTag, a small battery-powered accessory that helps keep track of and find the items that matter most with Apple’s Find My app. Whether attached to a handbag, keys, backpack, or other items, AirTag taps into the vast, global Find My network and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption. AirTag can be purchased in one and four packs for $29 and $99, respectively.
Each round AirTag is small and lightweight, features precision-etched polished stainless steel, and is IP67 water- and dust-resistant. A built-in speaker plays sounds to help locate AirTag, while a removable cover makes it easy for users to replace the battery.
Here’s how to replace your AirTag’s battery:
- Press down on the polished stainless steel battery cover of your AirTag and rotate counterclockwise until the cover stops rotating.
-
Remove the cover and battery.
-
Insert a new CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery with the positive (+) side facing up. You’ll hear a sound indicating that the battery is connected. (Note: CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.)
-
Replace the cover, making sure that the three tabs on the cover align with the three slots on the AirTag.
-
Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops.
MacDailyNews Note: You can check the charge of your AirTag battery using Apple’s Find My app:
- Tap the Items tab.
-
Tap the AirTag whose battery charge you want to check.
-
Check the battery icon under the name of your AirTag.
If the charge is very low, you’ll see a banner that says Low Battery.
