Wow , ask her for a date dude !
Just be aware of the limitations of the Air Tag: For example: If your cat or dog is running around in a remote location or you forgot your backpack out somewhere in the woods far enough from civilization, there is a good possibility that there will be no Apple Iphones around within 30 ft (and it must also be with its Bluetooth function and location services ON ), plus if there is no WiFi signal nor a Cell Tower signal close enough, then it will NOT show you its location. The Air Tags work great in a well populated city with plenty of iPhones… but not so much in remote places without people with cell phones around.
Just remember: there are several conditions that must be met. Remove any one of the following conditions and the AirTag will not work for you until ALL the conditions are met:
Necessary Conditions: 1.the AirTag needs any iPhone within 30 to 50 feet of it, 2. which must connected to a cell tower, 3. or connected to a WiFi, and, 4. and it must have its Bluetooth and its Location Services turned ON to update its location. (Remember that the AirTag does not have GPS function in it so it needs to rely on getting and sending its location from a nearby cell phone!).
Otherwise, within these limitations, it is s great device!
Thanks for this video. I'm debating whether to keep the AirTag visible or hidden. What are your thoughts on the Belkin secure holder for the AirTag?
This was super helpful, thanks!
I love the idea of these! Oh, and, I have the Tile app on my iPhone, not because I have a Tile (I don't), but because I actually would like to help someone find their stuff if it's lost.
You deserve a kiss from whomever you like.
Your video was very helpful. But your presentation, delivery and expressions were even better! Thanks for the upbeat info!
Very valid point.... thanks
Thanks my friend for the vid. Torn between Tile and Airtags, just ordered the tags!
Great, I’ve been looking for a discrete adhesive to mount an airbag with.
Great overview, thanks David!
Excellent video answer a lot of questions that I had
Thanks for the info !
Which app are you using?
I just purchased the AirTag 4-pack. Thanks the great tips!
Helpful thank you
Good advice!
Will the tags work across all devices on my Apple ID? Or will it start pinging when the items are in possession of a second iphone on my Apple ID ?
I've been a tile user for a few years with various different types... THis is because I'm hopeless and used to lose keys and my wallet at home, panic that they weren't at home, then replace cards etc only to find my wallet again. The biggest thing with them is the mixture of form factors (including the few styles with a keyring/lanyard loop) make having an option for a wallet, keys, tech, and several come with self adhesive pads so they can be stuck under or in things. You wouldn't know there was a tile on the bottom of my laptop, or my wallet. They even offer bright pattern tags which look more like a keyring so blend in.
Love the idea of the apple network providing constant coverage if they're in lost mode, but man they're ugly. I wouldn't want that thing with the weird loop on my keys, it's too big and bulky. If they slimmed them down and made different shapes for different applications, I'd be more tempted.
Yeah, I totally get that, but for sure this is their V1 product. Hopefully once they get these out there, they'll start to come up with other versions like Tile. That would be ideal!
Great video. Thanks.
nice product from apple.. i want to have one for may backpack for traveling, there’s might be a small problem though.. not all thieves uses iphone 🙄🙄🙄 and are we gonna get alerted aswell even if a person who happen to have an iphone that found our valuables with tha airtag wouldn’t scan the device? thanks!
My keychain is a Lighter Leash...Perfect circle to put it in and not obvious at first sight...Perfect!...
David-weird question for you…what font did you use for your name at the end of this video? Great video, btw. I’m considering buying some air tags and your video really had some useful information in it.
Thanks for this informative video.
If I put an Air Tag in my car and forget where I parked it (can be a few blocks away from my apartment), will the Tag's location automatically show up on my iDevice? Folks with iPhones walk around my neighbourhood all the time including the various spots where I park my car. I don't want to deliberately make the Tag in my car beep as obviously I would not hear it from a block away.
i believe that if you use apple maps and park your car after getting to a destination, it will automatically mark it as parked car. but if its your normal parking spot near your apartment and you dont use maps it probably wont do that. if you leave an air tag somewhere in your car you can always find it, without beeping even if someone stole your car and drove away to another city or country, if it will get in touch for a second with another apple device connected to the network you will be able to see its location and track it down. hope that helps
Thank you for another great and informative video
It also lacks an altimeter. So if you lost an item in a multi story building it wouldn't tell you what floor it was on just that it was in the building
Great useful information for how to most effectively use my Air Tags.
Does it only link to other IPhones or can it pick up the signal from Android phones as well??
What if you put one in your Carry-on. Will the tag set the alarm when it goes thru scanner thing at the airport
?
You could always use 2 of them, 1 visible and 1 hidden if you are trying to protect expensive items/bags.
This is actually what I'm thinking! OR, there could be a huge market for a "decoy AirTag". Like $5 for a piece of plastic that looks exactly like an AirTag. You put that in a key chain and hang it on the outside of your bag, then hide a real AirTag inside! Genius!
Cleaver!
@@DavidManningvlog Sounds great, and might be great for people who will rely on NFC finding, but aren't luggage cards cheaper?
@@DavidManningvlog but what's the point then
for vehicles. you could put several warning sticker on your car, saying "There are SEVERAL airtags in this car and they are all Well hidden, Good luck finding All of them in time."
Excellent info, instant subscribe!
but if someone steels my bike say, wouldn't the airtag alert the person who stole my bike that they are being tracked and then they can just find it disable it, defeating the purpose of tracking the bike. is that right ?
Thanks for all the info 👍 However, I do have a question. Base on what you describe in the "Stalker proof" section, it would also alert a thief that an air tag is "stalking" them and so notify them that the item stolen is tracked, is that correct? if true than the tag is basically useless to track stolen items.
Can I use an apple air pod inside my suitcase on international travel. Would it help find a lost suitcase?
Thx. I enjoyed your video
With the tile if I lost my phone I could press the button on the tile and my phone would ring. Can I do a similar thing with the Air Tag if I lose my phone
Just bought one to use on an upcoming overseas trip. I plan on using a piece of carry-on luggage, but have read that if the overhead bins fill up, an airline may take your suitcase and check it. Question: Can I simply place the Air Tag INSIDE my luggage, or does it have to be in one of those holders and attached outside?
Yes, can be kept inside the luggage
Most practical take on air tags I have seen. These would be cool if I was in that ecosystem, but I think the accessory pricing would trigger my inner cheap side and I would never buy them.
I'm totally with you. Just makes no sense that their main competitor Tile, has a hole in it so you can keyring it right out of the box and they didn't include that simple design piece. Very odd
@@DavidManningvlog Tiles are huge compared to Airtags. They better have case functions included.
10 months too late to let you know that Samsung has one that is way better?
Brilliant video. It answered loads of my curiosity about AirTags 👍
Thank you! I've just bought some Airbags and I've been saying the same thing. What other 3rd party solutions are out there?
I've looked around at a ton and I just end up tucking them into a small pocket on my bags. Seems to have worked perfectly so far!
@@DavidManningvlog I’ve been doing the same and it seems to work for me too. Thanks for all your great content!
Question: what if somebody steals my luggage that had an AirTag. 10 minutes later, my AirTag tells the thief, ‘Hey! You’re being tracked’ and he chimes the tag and takes off the battery?
Takes a few hours to alert someone that an AirTag is following them, so you have time to find your thing. UNLESS they have an iPhone and go to their "Home" marked in their iPhone. That will then alert them that an AirTag has followed them home. Apple prioritizes anti-stalking over anti-theft👍
@@DavidManningvlog Well dang. I had the same question…..Thanks for answering!
Buy / make a silent Airtag
@@DavidManningvlog yea well it might take u a few ouhr to notice that ur device bike escooter is missing then by the time u notice it its battery has been taken out
@@DavidManningvlog "Apple prioritizes anti-stalking over anti-theft" - Yeah, because stalking is so much more common than theft - MMB
That is great advice!
Thanks for the informative video. I received a set of AirTags for Christmas. I set one up and put it in my son’s jacket so I could see where he went on a snow machine ride. I thought it had gps and would track where he went. Nope. He off he went on the snow machine, and the AirTag showed the last location, which was where he started from - our house! I was pretty disappointed. I’m sure it works great in a city, but not so much in the wilds of northwestern Ontario.
And for the record, my son knew about the tag in his jacket 👍
Yeah, unfortunately for that use case, it's not GPS based. It's relying on pinging iPhones for its location. So if your son had an iPhone on him as well, then you could search for the AirTag at any point and it would show you its current location, but for tracking, you would be better off just using the iPhone in his pocket and something like Strava to track his rides👍
Out of all the YT video on air tag. This one resonated with the most common sense 🙃👌
Dude, thanks Eddie! That means a lot with how many are out there! You rock brother👍
I work for a company that lets customers borrow and return items. We have been looking into a way of tracking items that have not been returned. Do you think we need some sort of disclaimer on the items so customers do not get alarmed that their phone notifies them they are being tracked? Also, does the AT send constant warning of being tracked or just the 1?
I've been waiting until school was done to watch this
Good job waiting until school was done and not sneaking off to the bathroom to watch!🤣👍
Very good explanation
BATTERY LIFE: I bought (and activated) four ATs in July of 2021. It is now December of 2022 and I had to replace one battery in September, and one this month. The other two have not yet shown up as being low. So at least Apple's claimed year (and maybe up to 18 months) of battery life can be expected from these. Two of these go into town a lot while two of them are on the road far less often. I suspect that these "report" their location whenever an iPhone comes into range, so if you live where they can report all the time your battery life will be shorter as it will be in use more often. My two that are still going strong after 17 months stay at home most of the time, and I live in a small town where most of the locals have cheap android phones. In town, it is more affluent, so there are far more expensive iPhones in use, and I think that affects battery life.
Great video my friend. Couldn’t agree more with you.
Thanks Dan! I appreciate that man!
Love Othello! Yeah, those look about the right size.
What’s you say in this makes so much sense. Thanks. I did plan on hiding 3 of these on my 3 pieces of luggage. I was going to hang the 4th on my backpack. Now i will hide it inside.
You mentioned an accessory by "moment" ? I'm in Europe, can't find them ?? Any suggestion?
I'm a new air tag user - this is great advice!! Thank you so much :-)
Assuming a thief does make off with an air tagged item, Won’t the airtag make a sound when their iOS device comes near it? Is there some way to disable the airtag from making any sounds when it’s in lost mode, (unless it’s near your own iOS device)?
I was thinking of opening the airtag and disconnecting the built in speaker. there will be no chime for the theft but their phone will still get the notification if they have an iphone
Takes a few hours to alert someone that an AirTag is following them, so you have time to find your thing. UNLESS they have an iPhone and go to their "Home" marked in their iPhone. That will then alert them that an AirTag has followed them home. Apple prioritizes anti-stalking over anti-theft👍
This makes complete sense.
So if you have it on something on a child, or a camera bag, and it was around a person person who took it, would it then alert them an airtag was tracking nearby?

What if you use this to track an indoor/outdoor pet? Is there any way to attach this to a collar without people seeing it?
There's a dog collar version that I have on my dog. Not completely hidden, but looks great and is pretty stealth amzn.to/3F46QvZ
I'm moving from the West coast to the East coast and we're get professional moving company, my question is will the Airtag work inside of the moving semi-truck? Would the driver of the truck know if Airtag is hidden with furniture?
Something I’ve noticed is that even when not in lost mode the location of my air tag gets updated every time it connects with an iPhone nearby
Yes it is true
Right...that's how they work.
The question is, if some one takes your whatever object with an air tag in it, and they have an iPhone; would their iPhone tell them that someone else’s air tag is following them? So if they see the air tag or they don’t they are still notified that there is an air tag?
Can they be put in a magnetic case to stick it somewhere in my car?
I’m sure someone is making something like that out there! But yeah, you could also use one of those magnetic key cases and mount one under your car👍
What phone case is that?
there are wallets sold now to hold an airtag on the front of the wallet. How does it work? You said you did not recommend putting an airtag where someone can see it. Help please?
Thank you for your clear video instruction. I have been trying to put the back on for about 45 minutes with no success. I shall try later on, then if not, I will take it to a jeweller to put back on for me. My thoughts on Apple Air Tags (I run an all Apple environment) I would highly recommend people not but this product. In my experience, being one month, it sometimes works. And in a tracking device which can be mission critical sometimes reliable is unacceptable. I am stuck with my Air Tags as they are a present from my wife and monogrammed, otherwise I would have chucked them in the bin and used my old Tile which has never let me down despite a range of challenging environments. Air Tags are a beautiful looking device, but I have found they just don’t work even in a totally Apple environment,
Great video! TFS
Whats the difference between tracking someone and them stealing your item? Would their phone still tell them a air tag is traveling with them? If my car gets stolen i dont want that person to know its there. Im guessing it’s something to do with lost mode at this point.
Yeah, so the pop-up for that situation seems to only kick in after awhile of the AirTag following that person and it doesn't pop up at all if you've switched the AirTag to lost mode. So if you lose your thing, flip on that "Lost Mode" quick!
Apparently it takes a couple of hours to get the “rogue airtag” alert, the assumption being you’d notice the thing being lost before then.
But wouldn’t the app notify the thief of the airtag since it is not their airtag, vs. not notified if airtag is your, hence they could disable.
If you've hidden in your car and someone steals it and you activate 'lost' mode can that person, if they're an iPhone user, actually see that air tag that you've hidden in your vehicle search for it find it and disable it? Is that even possible?
Video was helpful
Good cool video David m great ideas to hide the tags , when you loose it….
Thanks Xabier!
I just picked up for air tags holders on Amazon for $16. Waterproofing with the metal key rings .
Ok so might be a stupid question. So I put one of these on my motorbike. It gets stolen. The theif gets an alert on their iPhone that they are being tracked. My bike gets dunked into the local canal or the tag is found and placed in an envelope and posted to somewhere 100 miles away. How would this device be good for me??? I don't think it would be. 🤔
How long after going into lost mode before it will it alert the said thief/person being tracked that a tracker is nearby?
Takes a few hours to alert someone that an AirTag is following them. UNLESS they have an iPhone and go to their "Home" marked in their iPhone. That will then alert them that an AirTag has followed them home. Apple prioritizes anti-stalking over anti-theft👍
So the thief who stole my bag is driving away from the scene, will he get a message on his phone that says there is an itag in his car, lol. If someone steals the item , I would have to quickly go into Lost mode before his phone alerts him?
Exactly, my first thought.
Should take a couple hours for the thief to get an alert or when the thief gets to their "home" that they have setup in their iPhone. So you'll have a bit of time to get it into Lost Mode, but you'll need to be decently quick!
Thief tracking is not what this is designed for. It's not even in their marketing. Bottom line, don't rely on this. Just be vigilant of your things, and get insurance.
@@GuyVinmara I get that, it’s the potential thief notifying part I’m not crazy about. But if it takes a day or two to notify it should be enough time.
@@keithlambert6217 I think it might take more than a day or 2 to get that notification
How can you put these on tv remotes
Love Othello!
My kids put an AirTag in their bag and now my I and my next door neighbors said they keep getting notifications that an AirTag is near them. Is there a way to disable that it’s really annoying?
So if this tracker was on a bike and it went missing then a thief who presumably has an iPhone can be alerted that an airbag is following them? 🤔 How will an airtag differentiate if someone put this on their car to track them or if the airtag owner put this on their own bike/car?

1. By not having the loop attached, it makes it easier to hide the AirTag in your bag or under your skatboard.
2. Hold your breath and count to 10. By the time you are done, Amazon will have a TON of cheap third-party accessories to buy and attach to your AirTag.
I just got mine today. Good investment after I got my backpack stolen out a hotel during my visit In Myrtle beach. I attached in on a zipper inside the bad but I think I might stick it deep in another pocket
Breath held .... they now have a 5 pack for $7 ... LOL
I just ordered them the other day. Waiting for them to arrive. One question though, if I throw one in my car somewhere and another iphone user is in the car with me, they will keep getting notified that there is an air tag near them?

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for that explanation. While I have you, is there a way to get a notification on my phone when the air tag "(n my car), has "left its" location? As if someone has stolen my car. Foe example if I am at work and I have my car parked in the lot and someone steals my car, can I be notified that way?
Has anyone tried this on your dogs to track if get loose ?
I have one on my dog’s collar. Haven’t needed to use it yet though🤷♂️
If you have 5 people in the car with iPhone's and the AirTag is on your key chain. Will the other 4 be notified or my guess is that since the owner is also in the vehicle, that the other 4 will not be notifieid
ty, nice hair
If u put the air tag in lost mode does it still let “the thief” know that there is a AirTag tracking them?
If someone finds your AirTag and wants to keep it for themselves, can they just take the battery out and put it back in, then pair it to their device? Or does it remember it’s paired to it’s original owner?
It has its own serial number which is registered on the find my network. The original owner would have to intentionally remove it in the find my app.
I heard someone say that if you take off and put on the battery 5 times over, it resets the whole thing and voila, the airtag is yours, now you can track all your stolen goods.. :) Not sure if this is true though. Someone with experience?
Nope, you have to release it from your account. The AirTags have serial numbers so they won't connect to a new account unless you've released it from yours👍
Great advice about being safe David.... It does look like Othello!!! Thanks!!!
Hahah! Totally Othello! And for sure safer than not having one. Obviously not fool proof, but it's something👍
Excellent
If the air tag alerts u thst u are being tracked by an air tag isn't that alerting the thief he's being tracked kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?
11:40 - I removed the pcb on mine and wired under my laptop motherboard.. (also wired it into the pc speakers and battery) If someone steals the laptop, they'll have a hard time disabling the tracker.
I concur
When you put it in lost mode how long before it alerts someone that the AirTag is close by. My thought is if someone that has an iPhone steals my item. I activate lost mode and then they get an alert saying that an AirTag is close, they turn on the alarm, find my AirTag and throw it in a ditch keeping my item. Kind of defeats the purpose. I sort of want to see if I can disable the alarm and then hide it really really well, to the point the thief decides its not worth it and ditches the item.
So if you have one in your car and someone with an iPhone steals your car, Apple will message them warning that they are being tracked? Is that right? What good are these little trackers if they will alert a thief about their presence?
Great vlog all the way from 🇦🇺💙😊😍❤️🤍🐊🍎👍🏻👌🙋♀️🙋♂️
If the thief had an iPhone wouldn't it alert them that they are being tracked by an airbag? (thought you said that earlier in the vid). I was hoping to put an airtag on my mom's key ring so she could share her location with me (a safety thing that she would know about) but with the alert showing up on her own iPhone.... that would be annoying. Can that feature be turned off?
No, unfortunately that feature can't be turned off. But if you and your mom both have iPhones, checkout the Find My app on there. You can share your locations with each other easily through there👍
@@DavidManningvlog I’ve done that but since she got an iwatch, she forgets to carry the phone and since they are paired, the iwatch location is the same as the phone even though they are not in the same place. (The iwatch is cellular). I should probably watch more of your videos. Thanks for all you do 😎
is it really worth to purchase this Tags?
That all depends....
Example: What are your keys worth to you when you can't them? 🤔
Why can’t my iPad or Mac send me the same type of messages as my AirTag does? (~Your item is not with you.)
So if one is in your vehicle and your vehicle gets stolen and the robber has an apple phone are they going to get an alert an air tag is near by and they can find it and disable it?
Right, you just need to be better at hide and seek then them👍 If they can’t find it, then they can’t disable it, so hopefully they’ll just ditch the thing they stole and you can recover it👍
Totally agree that Air Tags should be hidden.
Well i seen a guy remove the speaker. Its a magnetic little thing that pops right out! Thats brilliant. After removing the battery theres 3 little clips if you use like a small razer you can pop it right out and remove the speaker. This is perfect for people who are hiding the airtag against a thief! Let them search rather then hear and remove quickly!
Can i track my car if it’s like far far away?
Yeah, as long as other people with iPhones are nearby. The AirTag will ping any iPhone it’s near and then ping you through the Apple network
Apple ID avatar = business David
Hahahaa! Soooo professional!
Any issues with putting an AIRTAG in luggage on an airplane? Does TSA have an issue with them or will the X-ray damage the device?
🤦🏻♀️
