How do I check AirTag battery life on iOS 16?

Just realised the option to check the battery is gone on the Find My app ?

Umm...search, then post?

You're just about 6 months late to the party.

Apple now gives you a notification when the battery is low (and you get a red battery indicator at that point, until you replace it).

Well I didn’t get a notification. Only noticed the battery was low when I removed it and tried to add it to another persons Apple ID before their trip - threw an error that it couldn’t be added because battery is too low. Thankfully I had a spare CR2032 lying around. Even then I had to insert and remove/reseat the new battery 3-4x before it would register the new battery level and let me add the AirTag. The whole process is as seamless as a cheap 3rd party accessory you’d pickup from Aliexpress.

No, you had to reinsert it 5 times to reset the AirTag so you could add it to someone else’s Apple ID because you didn’t properly remove it from your Apple ID.
