How to add and pair an AirTag to the Find My app on iPhone
To pair an AirTag to an iPhone, simply bring the tag close to the device and wait for the AirTag pop-up to appear. You will see a similar pairing screen to when you connect to AirPods, with a “Connect” button appearing on the screen, as shown above.
Users will then see a list of default names to assign their AirTag such as “Keys” or “Jacket,” or provide a custom name of their choosing. The final step to add an AirTag to an iPhone is to register the tag to an Apple ID.
The setup process makes a couple of moments, and then a screen will show to confirm the AirTag has been connected successfully with a quick guide on how to use Precision Finding, how to play a sound to locate their missing tag, and how to get directions to missing items using Maps.
