With the arrival of the first orders for AirTags, users will begin to activate them and add them to the objects they want to not lose them. But if in case it is lost and the owner of this AirTag puts it in lost mode, we should know what to do in case we find a tag. These are the steps to take.
On April 23, the new AirTags were put on pre-sale and Apple specified that they would start shipping from the 30th. That day has arrived and some owners are reporting that they have even received the order some day before. The good thing is that we will begin to see how these AirTags are being used. But above all we must know how to act in case we meet one of them and that it is someone who has put it in lost mode.
The AirTag contains a small Bluetooth radio that broadcasts to nearby iPhones and allows the AirTag owner to see where it was last found on a map. Assuming there is someone with an iPhone or other device in Find My network nearby, the AirTag owner should be able to locate it and know where their lost item is.
If we find a lost item, what we have to do is locate its owner and return it to them. Staying what we find is not a good idea. Think that you could have lost it. To return the lost item to its owner, the best option is to hold the AirTag close to our iPhone (or Android) phone, with the white plastic side facing us. This is because AirTag includes a chip NFC so it can be read by any relatively current smartphone.
AirTag's NFC will lead to a web page. This page will include AirTag information such as your serial number. If the AirTag owner has put the tag in lost mode, you can provide a phone number and message. This contact information will appear on the web page when the AirTag is scanned so that you can contact them.
Clever. We will have done the good deed of the day. If you are the one who loses it, remember to put it in lost mode and a contact, because if not ... he will still be lost.
