Features unavailable with low battery

[Rydawg96]

So my AirTag finally has a low battery after receiving mine day one from Apple. The low battery notification says “Some features aren't available” yet it doesn’t say what features are not available nor does Apple’s website. Anyone know what features aren’t available?

Same thing for me today. When I tap on Replace Battery, it says at the bottom of the page: “When AirTag battery is low, privacy protections are temporarily adjusted and AirTag may be trackable over Bluetooth.” I wonder in what ways privacy protections are adjusted and what it means that the AirTag is trackable over Bluetooth…

When I got a Low Battery alert I tried to check the batteries of all my AirTags, but none of them shows the battery status anymore, even after changing the batteries no more indication of the battery status.

Yeah, I received the low battery notification twice for the same AirTag this week and both times it stopped showing low battery status a few minutes later. I guess it's hard for the AirTag to evaluate the battery level, but it must be getting low. It's been 14 months after all. My Panasonic replacement batteries are on their way.

By the way, in case you haven't seen Apple's article about it, make sure not to get a battery with a bitterant coating, like Duracell's, as it may not work in AirTag.

After updating to PB iOS 15.6 and 16, you can no longer see the battery level of AirTags in the Find My App.

Yea I got those at first. According to posts somewhere on here, sometimes it is just a sticker you can peel, or you can wash it off. Wonder why it only hinders AirTags though. Worked fine as a replacement in my car fob. Energizer ones worked fine in the AirTags

Do they still work? Mine all updated instantly. There was a chime when I placed the shiny part back onto the tag, and then Find My showed updated status straight away.

I’ve had the low battery indicator on for over a month or even two now. It appears to still track as normal.
