airtag doesn't work

My airtag stopped working. I cannot see it on my phone, but the battery is still good. Airtag is new. I have been using it for a week. What should I do?

Greetings Lady Lee 100,


If your AirTag is not working as expected, resetting it may resolve the issue.


  1. "Press down on the polished stainless steel battery cover of your AirTag and rotate counterclockwise until the cover stops rotating.
  2. Remove the cover and the battery.*
  3. Replace the battery.
  4. Press down on the battery until you hear a sound. This sound means that the battery is connected. 
  5. When the sound finishes, repeat the process four more times, removing and replacing the battery, then pressing down on the battery until you hear a sound. You should hear a sound each time you press on the battery, for a total of five sounds. The fifth sound is different from the previous four. This indicates that the AirTag is now ready to pair.
  6. Replace the cover by aligning the three tabs on the cover with the three slots on your AirTag.
  7. Press down on the cover.
  8. Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops rotating." How to reset your AirTag


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.

I was later able to resolve issue but could not figure out how to find my post to provide an update. If you can explain how to find my own post, this would be helpful for future use. One thing that was puzzling is that I thought I saw my air tag under devices menu. When I could not find air tag anymore I had reset my air tag before hunting in the items menu. So it may have been working all along.
