Here’s how AirTags actually work.
‘The above article explains the tech behind how AirTags help find your everyday objects.’
But, did you know AirTags can help automate mundane tasks in your daily life, preferably based on the object they stay with?
(All thanks to their secret NFC capabilities.)
Here are 4 automations I use regularly to save hours every week.
Prerequisite:
All automations below require you to link an AirTag prior to creating. Here’s how you do it.
- Go to Shortcuts < Automations < Create Personal Automation.
- Scroll down, click NFC.
- Click Scan, and tap your AirTag to the top-back part of your iPhone.
Your AirTag’s now linked — and the automation can be triggered anytime by tapping the AirTag again.
