I’m not sure why everyone seems to be having such terrible results with their AirTags. Anyone have great results? I’m absolutely loving them! Lost my keys twice and was able to find them in seconds, even on the second floor of my home. One in my wallet and backpack too. In fact my wife borrowed my backpack to go on a trip and I was able to track the bag for almost the entire journey! She didn’t even have data on her iPhone so it was pinging off other iPhones, not even hers! It showed me her location tho whole day, updating constantly (in fact, I think the whole afternoon 35 mins was the longest I didn’t get an update, it was mostly every 5-10 mins) but I showed her when she came back and it was exactly where she was! Seriously impressed, I could actually keep track of her when she didn’t even have find my share location on AND with no data on her phone so no internet! All she needed was to walk passed other iPhones that had data turned on! It actually works better than share location in this instance. Totally popping these in my kids coats - cheap peace of mind! Great item from Apple…

I almost never take my keyring out of a zippered pocket in my purse, but last week, I did to go get ice cream with my brother and promptly laid them down in my house when I got back. AirTag to the rescue! The beeping took me right to the keyring in my bedroom (I don't even remember going in there before leaving let alone with my keys in my hand). The AirTag did exactly what I needed when I needed it. YMMV.
