AirTags work by relying on the massive number of iPhones out there. That's because, unlike purpose-made dog location trackers, AirTags do not have their own GPS receiver. Instead, they rely entirely on any nearby iPhone (yours or anyone else's), which they quickly talk to as it passes.
How do you put an AirTag on a dog?
Although AirTags are not originally meant to keep track of your pets, you can definitely use them for that purpose, and it's very easy to set them up. Simply connect the AirTag to your device, add it to your pet's collar, and you are all set.Dec 4, 2021
How far away does Apple AirTag work?
Apple has not specified the exact Bluetooth range of an AirTag, but it's believed that each AirTag supports Bluetooth 5.0 (same as the latest iPhones), which means it should be trackable within 800 feet.Nov 2, 2021
