Now we have discussed what is apple AirTag and about its configuration now let’s discuss how does it works.
How Apple AirTag works?
Apple AirTag’s work system is very easy. It’s based on the non-GPS tracking. Like example if you setup the apple AirTag for some Backpack you use daily. And imagine if you misplaced it somewhere in your house.
By using you iPhone you can ping it by using find my app in iPhone just tap on the AirTag you setup to protect your back-pack and play a sound so that you can locate it if its nearby your Bluetooth range.
And by ultrawide-band precision finding you can locate it very easily without any headache. You can get exact distance of it, and direction as well very accurately. But only in iPhone 11 Or above devices.
So how all this works is there any magic apple does there? The answer is no. Apple AirTag sends a secure Bluetooth signal to nearby devices in find my network. And the device sends this signal to iCloud so that the associated device owner gets its location it’s pretty simple.
Misplaced item is generally pinged by only NFC and Bluetooth and UWB (Ultrawide Band) precision finding. But if you forgot your item in public places and then if you put your relevant associated Apple AirTag in Lost Mode it started to doing its work by sending location update of you item.
After some time AirTag will start making sound so that anyone can locate your item and if someone finds your item anywhere, they can see your name and contact info in website prompted by Apple AirTag By using NFC. And for this person needs to tap it by using there android or iPhone device after they find your Apple AirTag.
Its like Person A is telling person B that 1 is lost by person C and its so far away so he needs to be informed that its with you. Here person A is Apple AirTag, and person B is who find your item associated with apple AirTag and 1 is the item associated with AirTag Named A. A will Send Update Using iCloud who is going to update person C about 1s location. Bit confusing? No, it’s Not. I Hope it’s clear Now.
