9 Best Ways to Use an Apple AirTag

Misplacing everyday objects is like second nature to most of us. And the Apple AirTag helps easily track these misplaced items like headphones, wallets, and car keys. The waterproof nature is the cherry on top. Apple uses the existing network of Apple devices to locate the tracker, making it convenient to look for objects outside your home too. In short, there are plenty of use cases for the humble AirTag.

Even when you lose the set of keys, you can launch the Find My app on your iPhone and follow the directions to the AirTag.

And in this post, we will list the best uses for AirTags. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
But first,

• How to use Apple AirTag with your iPhone
• Track your bags better with these Apple AirTag holders
• Carry your keys in style with these leather keychains for Apple AirTag

1. Never Lose Track of Your Car Keys

One perfect use for AirTags is tracking your lost car or bicycle keys. It saves time looking under sofa cushions and trouser pockets.

All you need to do is get a sturdy keychain with a metal clip like the Spigen Rugged Armor, and you will be good to go. The best part about these keychains is that you can clip them in both trouser loops or loops inside bags and wallets.

2. Find Your Car’s Parking

Google Map’s Save My Parking feature is a nifty way to find your parked car. However, if you find yourself in a no-internet zone or a huge parking location, then finding the precise location of your parked car can be challenging. That’s where the AirTag comes into the picture.

You can buy a sticker case such as the LiZHi Silicone Case or the Aimtel AirTag holder and stick the case on the car’s insides. Once done, you can have a few dry runs before you park your car on a crowded street.

So the next time you get a little lost inside a huge parking lot, you know what to do. Do note that Apple AirTags do not show the floor of buildings.

Note: AirTag uses passers-by’s information to relay the signal to you. As such, you can track the signal faster if you are in a popular spot. But, if you are in a remote location, locating the signal can be challenging, especially if you are far away from it. So, take note of your surroundings when you park your car, instead of relying 100% on the AirTag.

3. Track Your Pet’s Runs

Do you have an adventurous furry friend who loves to go on a prowl around the neighborhood? If yes, you can use your AirTag to track their location.

If you are looking for an affordable yet durable product, the KONITY AirTag Dog Collar is a good pick. This AirTag case sits flush with the collar and thus prevents the pet from chewing on it. At the same time, the closed enclosure keeps the AirTag safe and secure. Moreover, it ensures that miscreants won’t be able to unhook the case easily from the collar without upsetting the pet.

But before sending them out, sync the tracker is synced properly to your iPhone.

4. Find Your Luggage

One of the best use cases of a tracker like the AirTag is that it can track luggage and packages as long as it finds a network of Apple devices to connect to. With airport luggage theft and delays getting more real every year, a tracking device inside the luggage always helps.

If you want to keep things simple, slip a tracker inside one of the pockets and check the status before you hand over your bag. Alternatively, you can get one of the sticky holders and stick the tracker to the insides of your bag. This way, you ensure the tracker doesn’t get lost (or stolen).

5. Slip Them Into Your Wallet

If you spend harrowing amounts of time looking for their wallet and coin purse every morning, then an AirTag should be on top of your Buy list.

You can either slip a tracker inside your wallet. Or, if you want to maintain the slim profile of your wallet or purse, you can’t go wrong with the slim pocket wallets by Hawanik. This wallet has a dedicated AirTag holder and separate slits for carrying cash and card.

6. Track Your Bike

Bikes are expensive, and there is no practical way to keep them safe apart from locking them with heavy-duty bike lock cables. Attaching an AirTag to your bike is probably one of the best uses for AirTags. As such, if you can’t find your bike, you can take the help of your local authorities and Apple’s Find My to locate it.

Interestingly, bike holders for AirTags are discreet, and you can seamlessly hide them. The AirTag mount from Stouchi hides inside the bell. Clever, right?

7. Find Your High-End Gadgets

Apart from tracking your wallet and passport, you can also use AirTag to monitor the location of your portable high-end gadgets like cameras. The idea is to use a relevant AirTag case or holder in the bag.

For instance, PSRAT Store offers a nifty holder that attaches to camera straps and camera bag straps. The holder is installed via screws, and this removes the possibility of miscreants removing them.

8. Find Your Passport

If you are a frequent traveler, you need to know that the passport is one of the most important documents. And if you want to be sure of where you keep it, tracking it via AirTag might be just what you need. Again, the usual rules apply – you can track it only if it’s inside your house or in the vicinity of a network.

That said, if you want to keep your passport and the AirTag in a single package, you may want to check out the WALNEW AirTag Passport Holder. It is a passport holder and an AirTag holder rolled into one, making your job much easier. When you need to submit the document to authorities, you can just remove the cover. Once done, you can slip it back inside. Simple, see!

9. Keep Things in a Safe Space

We all have some random but important stuff that we keep in a safe place, and then forget about it. And when the time comes to find it, all hell breaks loose.

If this is a frequent occurrence in your household, you can take the aid of AirTag. You can use a holder or a silicon sticker case to place them in position and then forget all about them.

When the time comes, you can let the Find My app do its magic. Yes, you can thank me later.

Hello Peace

These were some of the best AirTag uses. The main challenge in tracking bikes and skateboards is hiding the tracker without being visible. Not many days ago, an AirTag user could track and get back their stolen cycle.

Indeed, the AirTag is expensive compared to other trackers. However, the tracking is so much easier and seamless that we are ready to overlook the price tag. At the same time, they help you save time and mental peace.
