If your Waretag is nearby, your mobile Phone can lead you straight to it with Precision Finding . 1 You’ll see the distance to your Waretag and the direction to head in — all thanks to Ultra Wideband technology.
Your Waretag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your Waretag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itʼs efficient, so thereʼs no need to worry about battery life or data usage.
When youʼve left something far behind, like at the beach or the gym, the Find My network — hundreds of millions of mobile phones around the world — helps track down your Waretag. And it is designed to protect your privacy every step of the way.
Just like your other mobile devices, Waretag can be put into Lost Mode. Then, when it’s detected by a device in the network, you’ll automatically get a notification. You can also set it so someone can get your contact info by tapping your Waretag with an NFC-capable smartphone — that’s the same technology that lets people pay for things with their phones.
Only you can see where your Waretag is. Your location data and history are never stored on the Waretag itself. Devices that relay the location of your WareTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even your mobile knows the location of your Waretag or the identity of the device that helps find it.
