Airtag has always reminded me of the trackers we see in science fiction movies hahah it is a great addition to the entire range of Apple accessories

I have AirTags in both my vehicles. Not only is it helpful if you need to find your car in packed lot, but if anyone were to ever steal the car getting its location quickly would be useful. We also recently moved from Oregon to Delaware and had one of are cars shipped. I was able to track its movements across the country so always knew precisely where it was in the journey. Finally, if you ever have need to locate a family member who for whatever reason is unable to communicate having an AirTag in the vehicle could be very helpful (all family members knew an AirTag was in the vehicle). AirTags are also good for temporary tracking. When we moved all our stuff was stored in two Pods. Put AirTags in both to again know where they were on their journey.

Apple needs to pay you. I just bought airtags in part because of this video.

When I had plantar fasciitis, I got one of those canes that opens up into a seat (the Ta-Da cane, love it). Since I don't normally use a cane, I made sure I could fasten an air tag to it, using one of the available waterproof cases for the air tag. Instrument players who do gigs can also toss one into their cases/amps/etc. Paul McCartney could've used one, all those years ago!

I absolutely love my AirTags, and I appreciated the ideas for uses that you showed. One of the best changes has been that Apple allows AirTag sharing. Since we have kids with stuff that we AirTag, it's great for both parents to be able to link to the tags. Also, my older kids have their own iPhones. I haven't found a wallet yet that I like, but I'm checking out these that you show. 

I definitely think I need one for my tv remote.

As some others mention here, we put tags in our vehicles too, mainly in case of theft, but also to know where they are sometimes.

I put mine in my go pro case and sometimes even attach it to my go pro (12) because the precision tracking is especially helpful when it gets lost during a shoot or another scenario

[sassijay]

I have 3 brain tumours. My life currently consists of looking for things and forgetting what I’m looking for. Currently setting up 20 air tags to help my addled brain 🧠

Lost my card holder dude I need one of these always misplace / forget items since I was a kid I’m not sure why definitely gonna buy some

[Azuzzhy]

I use it to track the cleaning materials such as broom mop because everything in our workplace went missing, I place it to machines and tractors

[CarlZ]

I saw this tip on a backpacking forum. A backpacker put an air tag in a bear canister (bear-proof food container) so that he could find his food in case a bear knocked the bear canister around from its original placement.

[agiustube]

Great ideas here to track objects if you misplace them in your house or car but if you misplace your "stuff" outside of these areas and the airtags are visible won't they just be removed. You would then be tracking your airtag not your lost "stuff". If you are using airtags have them hidden so that someone that takes a liking to your "stuff" won't know they are being tracked (unless they are tracking their own airtags, then they will know your airtag is hidden as they are alerted by their tracking). Hide your airtags, don't get accessories that show them off.

Also, please post link to your executive backpack. 😊

👍 informative, useful ideas and well delivered, easy to listen to (and no goofy faces on thumbnail that I avoid!) 😌

[astronomyguru]

I’m a photographer and I do a lot of events. I have an AirTag in each one of my camera bags and I even have one hidden inside my tripods.

[albertagjoni]

Does this is working in a Samsung phone?

[sigiligus]

I put them in the backs of my electric guitars amongst all the wiring. I also carry a spare one in my fanny pack that I can use for stuff while I’m out, such as if I’m with family and splitting up I can leave it with them to find them later (particularly good idea for peace of mind with kids). Leave in the car so you can find it in a large parking lot (or if someone steals it, but nobody would steal my car).

We use a tag on our dog’s collar. Got an attachment from Amazon.

When you purchased the Waterfield Messenger bag did you get the size for your 12.9 or 11 iPad?

[missbilbybadinage]

3:57 That was driving me nuts and draining my phone’s battery. Thank you. I will put one in my elderly mother’s clothes when she goes out.

[BigDon._jr]

My problem is I don’t think it has live tracking. For example if I have an AirTag in my car and someone steals my car. Will I be able to track the AirTag while there driving away with it ? Or will it just tell me it’s last known location
