15 Surprisingly Practical Uses for Apple’s AirTags

Apple's AirTags have become a game changer for many people. If you're someone who's constantly forgetting where your stuff is, then getting an AirTag or two to help out is definitely a no-brainer.
But what about those folks who don't lose their stuff often? They don't really need an AirTag, right? Well, you still might.
There are actually a lot of clever you can use your AirTags. Whether it's games, tracking your stuff, or making sure your loved ones are okay, here are 15 practical uses for your AirTags.
Never Lose Your Keys
This is probably the best use for an AirTag. You can easily keep track of your keys at all times with nothing more than your iPhone.
Since most recent iPhone models can even show you directions that guide you right to your keys, it'll be easy to find them even when you're in a hurry.
Put An AirTag In Your Wallet or Purse
Losing your wallet or purse is one of the worst feelings there is. Not only will you lose your cash and credit cards, but you may also lose important documents like your ID, driver's license, or even your passport.
Fortunately, you can simply put an AirTag inside your wallet or purse, and you won't have to worry about losing it ever again. Granted, not every wallet has enough room for an AirTag, but it's still a great accessory if you can fit it inside — and there are some accessories that can help you with this and even quite a few wallets designed specifically to accommodate an AirTag.
Keep Track of Your Luggage
If you plan to go on a trip soon, it won't hurt to use an AirTag to keep track of your luggage. Many people have actually found their lost luggage because of the AirTag, so using one might make your travel a whole lot easier.
Track Your (or Your Kid's) Backpack
Whether you use a backpack for school or work, keeping track of it at all times isn't exactly productive. Moreover, your kids might not even care about their backpacks enough to track them during school.
Instead of worrying about what might happen, using an AirTag to track your backpack is more productive and even more secure.
Never Miss Your Remote Again
It's always really annoying to sit on your couch to watch a movie or show, only to find out that you don't know where the remote is.
Fortunately, an AirTag will make finding your remote a lot easier. Granted, you'll probably need to buy an extra accessory to attach it to your remote control, but it might be worth it if you're constantly losing it.
Keep an AirTag Near Your Medicine

For some people, not taking their medicine could be a life-or-death situation. Even if you're situation isn't that extreme, not taking your medicine can still be detrimental in the long run.
The good news is that, with the help of Apple's Medications feature and an AirTag, you'll never forget about taking your medications again.
You can use Apple's Medications to set reminders of when you need to take your medicine, and if you can't find it, you can quickly use the Find My app to locate your AirTag along with your medicine.
Use an AirTag With Your Drone
Drones can be pretty expensive, which is why you need to take good care of them. If you like sending your drone into the unknown, you'll be better off using a small but powerful AirTag to track it in case it goes AWOL.
Never Lose Yourself in a Parking Lot Ever Again
Not finding your car in a parking slot is annoying at best and really scary at worst.
In the best-case scenario, you're just looking in the wrong place, but there's also the possibility that someone stole it. To avoid these situations, you can use an AirTag to quickly track your car. If you notice someone has taken it, you can always call the police and ask for help. If not, you won't have to worry about looking silly trying to find your car.
Track Your Bike
Unfortunately, while bikes are really fun to ride, they can also be pretty easy to lose or have stolen. By adding an AirTag to your bike, you can rest assured that you'll be able to locate it in a matter of seconds — or call the police and ask for help if you think someone took it.
Use Your AirTags Outdoors
If you're someone who loves hiking or doing a lot of outdoor activities, keeping an AirTag with you might be helpful.
You can keep your AirTag inside your tent or keep an AirTag in a place that can help you go back and not get lost in the wilderness. Of course, AirTags have a limited range, so keep this in mind before relying solely on it.
Track Your Kids' Toys
If you have kids, you probably have a lot of toys lying around. And while you can't keep track of all of them, you can use an AirTag to make your job easier.
Of course, trying to track all of your kids' toys with AirTags would be impossible and really expensive. Instead, you can only track your kids' most expensive toys or the toys they like the most.
Track Your Kids
Instead of just tracking your kids' toys, you can track them instead. Granted, neither Apple nor we suggest that you completely rely on an AirTag to track your kids, as they can be faulty, or your kids can drop them.
Still, having an extra layer of protection and the ability to track your kids whenever you want could give most parents some piece of mind.
Keep Track of Your Pets
Having pets is like having children, except that they can get lost more often than your kids do. While using an AirTag shouldn't be your only way to keep track of your pets, you can use it to know where they are around the house or yard at all times.
Just be sure to also get a special collar that lets you keep the AirTag around your pets' necks.
Keep Track of Elderly People
Let's start this by saying you shouldn't track people without their consent. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who use AirTags to track their partners or stalk other people, and that's definitely not how you should use AirTags.
With that said, you can still use AirTags to track older family members or people with special needs. Keeping an AirTag with them at all times would definitely be helpful if you're worried they might wander off without notice.
Use AirTags to Take Your Family Games to the Next Level
While AirTags are mostly used to track your belongings, you can also use them for more fun stuff.
You can use them for anything that revolves around finding something or someone. For instance, imagine playing a game of hide and seek with AirTags, or having a crazy scavenger hunt where you use your iPhone and other clues to win.
This is definitely one of the most creative ways to use your AirTags, and it'll make game nights a lot more fun.
