Apple AirTags are great for keeping track of stuff, such as your car keys, or anything else that  maybe displaced.

The setup is easy and straight forward IF you have the below:

• Make sure your devices is updated to iOS 14.5 or later.
• Location is turned ON. 
• An AirTag.
• An iPhone.
• Bluetooth tuned ON.
• You’re familiar with FindMy.
• Connected to WiFi or your cellular provider.
• If you’re setting up more then one AirTag, you must set them up one at a time.

Now that you have the above, do the following:

1. Bring the AirTag and the iPhone close to each other.
2. Remove the protective film from the AirTag.
3. Remove the protective tag from the battery on the AirTag.
4. You’ll then hear a beep from the AirTag.
5. Go to your iPhone.
6. A window should pop-up for AirTag setup.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions.
8. After that, attach the AirTag to what ever you wish to keep track of.
9. That’s it.
