Apple’s AirTag makes it easy to keep tabs on everyday items like keys, bags and luggage using the Find My network. Setup is quick, requires no tools and takes just a minute or two as long as you have a compatible iPhone or iPad. Once paired, your AirTag quietly works in the background to help you locate misplaced belongings. This guide walks through how to set up an AirTag, how to name it so you can easily identify what it’s attached to and what to do if setup doesn’t go as planned.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
An iPhone or iPad signed in to your Apple Account
Bluetooth enabled on that device
Location Services enabled
iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later (AirTag 2nd generation requires iOS or iPadOS 26.2.1 or later)
A stable Wi-Fi or cellular connection
You’ll also want to ensure iCloud Keychain is enabled and that your Apple Account setup is fully completed in Settings.
The easiest way to set up an AirTag is directly through the on-screen setup prompt.
Remove the plastic tab from your AirTag to activate the battery.
Hold the AirTag near your unlocked iPhone or iPad.
When the setup animation appears, tap Connect.
Choose a category for your AirTag, such as Keys, Backpack or Luggage. If you select Custom Name, you can type your own label and choose an emoji.
Tap Continue to link the AirTag to your Apple Account.
Tap Done to finish setup.
Once completed, the AirTag will appear under the Items tab in the Find My app. If you’re setting up multiple AirTags, make sure only one is near your device at a time. If more than one is detected, a notification will appear saying “More than one AirTag detected”. If this happens, move the others farther away and try again.
If the setup animation doesn’t appear automatically, you can add an AirTag manually through Find My.
Open the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap the Items tab.
Tap the Add button.
Select Add AirTag or Other Item (if you’re adding a compatible FindMy Network accessory).
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
You can add up to 32 items in Find My, including AirTags, shared items and compatible accessories. If you’ve reached the limit, you’ll need to remove an item before adding a new one.
If setup fails or the pairing animation disappears, try the following steps:
Lock your iPhone or iPad, unlock it again and wait about 15 seconds for the animation to reappear.
Make sure Bluetooth and Location Services are turned on in Settings.
Check that Find My has permission to use Precise Location.
Ensure you’re signed in to your Apple Account and iCloud Keychain is enabled.
Verify your device is running the latest version of iOS or iPadOS (iOS or iPadOS 26.2.1 or later).
If the AirTag still won’t connect, the battery may need replacing. AirTags use a standard CR2032 coin cell battery, and swapping it only takes a minute. If issues persist after replacing the battery, you may need to reset the AirTag and try setup again.
Naming your AirTag makes it much easier to identify when you’re tracking multiple items. During setup, Apple offers preset labels like Keys or Backpack, but you can customize these at any time.
To rename an AirTag after setup:
Open the Find My app.
Tap Items and select your AirTag.
Tap Add Name or Rename Item.
Choose a preset label or select Custom Name.
Optionally add an emoji for quick visual identification.
Clear labels are especially helpful if you use AirTags for travel, work gear or shared household items.
AirTags don’t have built-in clips or adhesive, so you’ll usually need an accessory to attach one securely. Depending on how you plan to use it, that could mean a key ring, luggage tag, wallet insert or bike mount.
If you’re unsure which style works best, Engadget has rounded up the best Apple AirTag accessories, covering options for keys, bags, wallets and more. Choosing the right accessory helps ensure your AirTag stays attached and works the way you expect.
After setup, your AirTag will automatically update its location using Apple’s Find My network. You can view its last known location, play a sound to help locate it nearby or use Precision Finding on supported iPhones to guide you directly to it. With just a few minutes of setup and a clear label, an AirTag can become a reliable way to keep track of important belongings, whether you’re at home or on the move.

You know that feeling when you stumble upon a neighborhood that just gets it right? Where every corner feels designed for actual humans instead of maximizing square footage? That’s exactly what Architectkidd has created with My Front Yard in Phuket, and it’s making me rethink everything I thought I knew about retail spaces.
Here’s the thing: most shopping centers feel like they were designed by people who have never actually enjoyed walking through one. You get those massive, soul-sucking boxes where the only outdoor space is the parking lot. But My Front Yard flips that script entirely. Located against a hillside in Phuket, this project ditches the big box approach for something that feels more like wandering through a well-planned village than a commercial development.
Designer Name: Architectkidd
The concept is refreshingly simple yet radical in today’s retail landscape. Instead of cramming everything under one massive roof, Architectkidd broke the space into a cluster of low-rise pavilions scattered across the site. These aren’t just random buildings, they’re connected by open-air walkways and communal spaces that actually make you want to slow down and explore. It’s retail therapy in the most literal sense.
What makes this design so clever is how it taps into the rhythms of everyday life. The outdoor pathways aren’t just pretty, they’re designed for morning walks, exercise stops, daily jogs, and yes, even bringing your pet along. The space becomes part of your routine rather than a destination you have to psychologically prepare for. It’s the kind of place where grabbing coffee or browsing shops becomes a pleasant addition to your day instead of a task to endure.
The architectural language ties everything together without feeling monotonous. Each pavilion maintains its own identity while contributing to a cohesive whole, creating what Architectkidd calls “micro-communities” within the larger development. It’s a subtle but important distinction. You’re not navigating a monolith, you’re discovering pockets of activity that each have their own character and purpose.
This approach represents a fundamental shift in how we think about commercial spaces. The goal wasn’t just to create another place to shop, it was to build a landscape where community happens organically. Success here isn’t measured in transactions per square foot but in how naturally people integrate the space into their lives. Can you pop by for a quick errand? Absolutely. But you can also spend an afternoon wandering, meeting friends, or just enjoying being outside in a thoughtfully designed environment.
The timing of this project feels particularly relevant. We’ve spent years watching retail struggle to compete with online shopping, and the answer often seemed to be making physical stores more experiential. But My Front Yard suggests a different solution: make the entire environment worth experiencing. When the journey between shops is as pleasant as what’s inside them, you’re creating value that Amazon can’t replicate.
Phuket’s climate makes this open-air concept especially practical, but the philosophy behind it could translate to countless other contexts. We’re seeing a broader movement in architecture and urban planning that prioritizes human-scale development, pedestrian-friendly design, and spaces that encourage spontaneous interaction. My Front Yard isn’t just riding that wave, it’s showing how those principles can work in a commercial setting without sacrificing functionality.
There’s also something refreshing about design that doesn’t shout for attention. The pavilions and walkways create an experience without overwhelming you. It’s confident enough to be understated, trusting that good bones and thoughtful planning will be their own draw. In an era of Instagram-bait architecture, that restraint feels almost rebellious.
Looking at projects like My Front Yard makes me hopeful about the future of retail and public space generally. We don’t have to choose between commercial viability and human-centered design. We can create places that serve both purposes, spaces that support businesses while genuinely improving daily life for the people who use them. Sometimes the most innovative thing you can do is remember what made neighborhoods work in the first place, then apply that wisdom with contemporary tools and fresh eyes.
