How to play audio on AirTag

If you have set up AirTag and attached it to an item, you can track it in the ‌Find My app if you accidentally left it somewhere. ‌Find My‌ uses the Bluetooth signal from a lost AirTag to transfer its location back to the owner, and on devices that also have the U1 chip, has an exact search feature that allows you to pinpoint the location of the AirTag when it is in range.

But what if AirTag-mounted items are not in line of sight, even when it is close? For example, if you know you've lost the keys in the back of the couch, it can still be difficult to find them again. Luckily, Apple has this in mind, which is why you can create a sound AirTag to help you find it.

How to make AirTag sound

If there is an AirTag nearby, you can ask it to play a sound so it can be located more easily.

Go to the Find My app , choose Items .

Select the AirTag you want to play a sound on.

Click Play Sound .

To stop the sound before it turns off automatically, press Stop Sound . You can pick up the AirTag and grip it tightly so it doesn't make any sound.

Use Siri to play AirTag sounds

If you ask Siri to find things for you or make a sound on the AirTag attached to the object, Siri will connect to the AirTag and make it play a sound that helps you find the item faster.

You'll also see a map of directions to the item and its last known location. If you have a supported iPhone and are near AirTag, you can find the exact location.
