Here's how you can effectively use Apple AirTag in tracking your lost or stolen device.

Apple AirTag can be attached to your bag, phone, or other items. It's useful for emergency purposes, especially when you have no hope of finding your lost stuff.

Not all cases involving the AirTags are about the missing items. Sometimes, they might have been stolen, and this is where it becomes convenient as a real-time location tracker.

You should remember that to use it, you first need to pair it with your Apple account. 

Apple Insider reports that once you're done with it, you can now start searching for the location of this tracking tool using the Find My App. This software can be downloaded on the Apple App Store.

It should be noted that it's more accurate than other tracking devices in terms of searching for an item's location. The reason behind this is that the Cupertino giant has already rolled out several devices that are related to one another.

Regarding the privacy issues surrounding it, your privacy is safe here. Apple says that it created this tool so that the signals coming from the lost devices will be secure. The only thing that can detect the AirTags is the user alone.
