Add an AirTag in Find My on iPhone

You can register an AirTag to your Apple Account using your iPhone. When you attach it to an everyday item, like a keychain or a backpack, you can use the Find My app to locate it if it’s lost or misplaced.

You can also get notified if you leave your AirTag behind. See Set separation alerts in case you leave an AirTag or item behind.

AirTag can only be registered to one Apple Account at a time, but you can share an AirTag with others.

You can also add supported third-party products to Find My. See Add or update a third-party item.
