Are you a new AirTag owner (or are considering buying one) and wondered how often your AirTag updates location? The answer is "it depends." Your AirTag can update every 60 to 120 seconds, though it all depends on where your AirTag is located and how close it is to other iPhones or Apple devices. In this article we'll go over how often an AirTag updates its location, the AirTag's range, and if your AirTag keeps a history of its locations for you to browse.
Things You Should Know
- AirTags use Bluetooth signals to communicate with nearby iPhones or other Apple devices to update their location.
- While AirTags don't have their own defined range, they work within iPhone Bluetooth range, which is about 33 feet.
- Neither AirTags nor the Find My app keep a location history for your AirTag as a security measure to prevent illegal tracking.
