airtag location not updating

the Find My app is not updating the AirTag location. I have 2 AirTags, both with good batteries and in recent days the location is not updating unless I restart the iPhone, even when standing right next to the AirTag. ‘Devices’ and ‘People’’ work fine but not ‘Items’ which just keeps showing the updating circle. Any help please?

Hey b_1_rd,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We're happy to help.


AirTags rely on nearby devices to provide location details. Let's check Settings on your iPhone to make sure everything is configured properly:


  1. Open Settings > [Your Name] > Find My, make sure Find My [Device] and Find My network are both enabled.
  2. Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services to make sure Location Services is enabled.


If those setting are all enabled, we recommend toggling them off, then back on again. If that doesn't help, reach out to Apple Support directly: Contact - Official Apple Support


Take care!
