To combat the issue of AirTags failing to track anything in motion, consider teaching your child to respond to the AirTag’s beeping sound. 4 If your kid’s GPS tracker shows they’re right on top of you but you still can’t find them amongst a crowd of people, whip out the AirTag’s Precision Finding feature to learn exactly which direction to go and how far to walk to find your child. GPS trackers can locate someone within about 16 feet of their true location. That said, there’s one scenario where AirTags provide better accuracy than a GPS tracker: crowded events. Those limitations don’t exist with GPS-and you don’t want to butt heads with technology when it comes to protecting your child. With an AirTag, your child has to stay within range of devices in the Find My network and needs to stand still (or move reasonably slow) for an accurate location ping. 3 Although Drance didn’t go into further detail about the pros and cons of using an AirTag for kids, our take is that Apple Watches are more reliable trackers for children because they use GPS.

In an April 2021 interview, Apple’s VP of worldwide iPhone marketing Kaiann Drance recommended using an Apple Watch with Family Setup to track children instead of Apple AirTags. It’s best as a supplement to a kids GPS tracker or for use at crowded events. You can use Apple AirTag to track your child, but we don’t recommend it as an “everyday wear” tracker. Tap Continue, and then tap Continue again to confirm that you’re registering the AirTag with the correct Apple ID. Name the AirTag from the drop-down list or choose Custom to type in a unique name. A pop-up will appear on the screen that says “AirTag.” Tap Connect. You should hear a beep that confirms the battery’s working. To activate an Apple AirTag, remove the battery tab.
