Earlier this year, Apple released its Find My Network-enabled trackers AirTags. These coin-sized devices help locate lost or stolen items by piggybacking on other Apple devices. So when an iPhone user with an Internet connection passes an AirTag, the two devices communicate with each other.

This updates the AirTag’s status and location on Apple’s servers and map. And if the AirTag’s owner activates lost mode, the stranger’s connected iPhone will trigger it as well. Considering that there are Apple devices almost everywhere, Tile cannot compete with Apple with its limited network. If you’re thinking of getting it, here’s how to set up and use an Apple AirTag on your iPhone. Unfortunately, you can’t set up an AirTag with a Mac.

Register with your **Apple** **ID.**
