You can register an AirTag to your Apple Account using your iPhone. When you attach it to an everyday item, like a keychain or a backpack, you can use the Find My app to locate it if it’s lost or misplaced.
AirTag can only be registered to one Apple Account at a time, but you can share an AirTag with others. You can also get notified if you leave your AirTag behind, and add supported third-party products to Find My.
Here’s how to add an AirTag in Find My on iPhone.
Add an AirTag
- Remove the product wrapping and battery tab from the AirTag and then hold it near your iPhone.

Go to the Home Screen on your iPhone.
Note: To retry pairing, turn your screen off and back on.

- Tap Continue to register the item to your Apple Account. Then tap Finish.

Before you can add an item that’s registered to someone else’s Apple Account, they need to remove it.
