What to do if you find an AirTag or get an alert that an AirTag is with you

If you find an AirTag or a lost item with an AirTag attached:

  • Tap and hold the top of your iPhone or NFC-capable smartphone to the white side of the AirTag.

  • Tap the notification that appears. This opens a website that provides information about the AirTag, including its serial number.

  • If the owner marked it as lost, you might see a message with information about how to contact the owner.* You can contact the owner to let them know that you found their AirTag.

If you see an “AirTag Found Moving With You” message:

  • Tap the message.

  • Tap Continue. If you need help finding the AirTag, tap Play Sound.

  • If the AirTag is attached to an item you’re borrowing, you can tap Pause Safety Alerts to turn off “AirTag Detected” notifications for one day. If you’re borrowing an AirTag from a member of your Family Sharing group, you can turn off Safety Alerts for one day or indefinitely.

  • You can tap Learn About This AirTag to see its serial number if the owner marked it as lost.

  • To disable the AirTag and stop sharing your location, tap Instructions to Disable AirTag and follow the onscreen steps. If you feel your safety is at risk, contact your local law enforcement who can work with Apple. You might need to provide the AirTag or its serial number.
