Find My not updating AirTag location on my iPhone with iOS 18.4.1

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with one of my AirTags that I hope someone can help me with.

The AirTag is physically with me, but in the Find My app it still shows a location from months ago (specifically, over 3 months ago), and says “last seen at [that old location].” It doesn't update its current position, and I'm unable to make it play a sound.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Made sure Bluetooth is on
• Restarted my iPhone
• Removed and reinserted the battery of the AirTag
• Checked that Find My and Find My network are enabled in my iCloud settings
• Tried to trigger a location update by moving around with the AirTag
• Confirmed that the AirTag is associated with my Apple ID
• Despite all this, the location does not update.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Is there a way to force a location refresh or reset the AirTag without removing it from my Apple ID?

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Alessio
