Activate AirTag: First, you need to activate your AirTag. Hold your AirTag close to your iPhone and it will automatically connect to your device. At this point, you'll see a prompt on the screen to set up your AirTag. Click on the "Connect" button to start the activation process.

Naming & Customization: After successful activation, you can name your AirTag and select an emoji as its logo. This makes it easy to identify each AirTag in the Find My app.

Attach your AirTag to your belongings: You can now attach your AirTag to your keys, wallet, or other items that are prone to loss. As long as you make sure that your AirTag stays within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, you can always see the location of your items in the Find My app.

Use the Find My app to locate your item: When your item is missing, simply open the Find My app and select the corresponding AirTag to see the item's last known location. In addition, you can also make the AirTag** sound so that you can find it faster.

Sharing & Privacy Protection: You can also share your AirTag's location with family or friends. At the same time, in order to protect privacy, when someone else's iPhone detects that an unknown AirTag is moving with you for a long time, it will automatically send a reminder.
