How to locate AirTag correctly on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12
If you have set up AirTag and attached it to something, you can track the said object in the Find My app if you forget it. Find My uses Bluetooth signal from AirTag to transfer its location back to owner. However, in addition to Bluetooth, each AirTag is also equipped with a U1 Ultra Wideband chip and on devices also has a U1 chip, which has an exact search feature that allows you to more accurately determine the distance and direction of the AirTag lost when it is in scope.
If you are looking for a lost item and own the iPhone 11 or 12, the exact search feature will direct you to the exact location of the lost AirTag using the camera sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope, with guidance provided through sound, feel and intuitive feedback. Here's how.
