Find a nearby item

Open the Find My app, then tap Items.
Tap the item that's connected to your AirTag, then tap Find Nearby.

Follow the distance and direction information that your iPhone displays. Your iPhone also vibrates as you get closer to the AirTag. You can tap Play Sound to hear a series of beeps that helps you find your AirTag.

If your iPhone says that more light is required, uncover the camera or tap the Turn Flashlight On button.

If the Find Nearby button doesn't appear

If you don't see Find Nearby, make sure that you turned on Location Access for Find My.

Scroll down and tap Find My.
Choose how you want Find My to access your location.
For the most accurate location, turn on Precise Location.

Still don't see Find Nearby? Your AirTag might be out of range of your iPhone. Try finding it on a map and getting directions to its location.

Environmental factors, including wall materials or objects between your iPhone and your AirTag, might impact performance.

If you loan someone a personal item with an AirTag attached

If you loan someone your keys or other personal item that has an AirTag attached, you can share the AirTag with the other person. That way, they can use Find My and Precision Finding to locate the item, and they won't receive Tracking Notifications.
