You found something that has a tracking hardware attached to it? Great! That’ll make it easier to return the item to the rightful owner with the Lost and Found Software.

As a Lost and Found Software user, you have multiple options to proceed.

You find an Apple® AirTag or an item with an AirTag attached?

  1. Tap and hold the top of your iPhone or NFC-capable smartphone to the white side of the AirTag.
  2. Tap the notification that appears. This opens a website that provides information about the AirTag, including its serial number.
  3. If the owner marked it as lost, you might see a message with information about how to contact the owner.* You can contact the owner to let them know that you found their AirTag.

* You can view a Lost Mode message on any NFC-capable smartphone, such as an iPhone or Android phone.

You find a Tile® or an item with a Tile® attached?

Follow these steps to make sure the Tile® and lost item get back to their owner:

  1. Download the app and register for an account. (free of charge)
  2. Find a safe location where you’d like to leave the Tiled item.
  3. Log in and run the app next to the Tile for 2–5 minutes.
  4. Leave the Tile in the safe location, as the owner will now be notified of its location

And that’s it! You’ve just used the power of the Tile Network.
