Apple is planning to release AirTag 2 with an upgraded wireless chip, improved privacy, and better range. The next-gen AirTag will arrive in mid-2025.
The Find My app shows an "AirTag Detected Near You" alert when it notices an unknown AirTag near you in the same place for some time. If you get alerts for a borrowed AirTag, you can choose to pause tracking notifications. When this happens, you must find the AirTag and its owner. To stop an unknown AirTag from tracking you, you must disable the AirTag.

You can track an AirTag using your Android phone as well, and to do so, simply head over to Settings -> Safety and emergency -> Unknown tracker alerts -> Scan now -> select AirTag -> Play sound. Apple also offers a third-party app called Tracker Detect on the Play Store itself, which works similarly.
AirTags are not waterproof, rather they are water-resistant. They have an IP67 rating, which means the tracker can tolerate spills, splashes, and other water damage. AirTag can survive submersion in up to 3.3 feet of water up to 30 minutes.
The answer is no. AirTags do not work with Android. There's simply no way to set up an AirTag using an Android device. An AirTag uses Apple's Find My network for precision finding and location tracking. However, an Android phone can be used to scan for unwanted AirTags. This way, you can ensure that you aren't being tracked without consent.
The answer is no, AirTags do not need to be charged. Apple's AirTag runs on user-replaceable CR2032 lithium CV coin batteries that can last up to a year. You can track the battery life using the Find My app. If your AirTag is low on charge, you need to replace the battery to continue tracking your devices.
Ideally, an AirTag has a user-replaceable battery that should you more than a year before you need to replace it. You can use a CR2032 lithium CV coin battery with a bitterant coating, that's commonly found in most electronic and drug stores. To replace the battery, simply remove your AirTag from its case or accessory.
Resetting an AirTag involves using the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad. Open the app, select the AirTag you want to reset, remove it from your account. If the device is removed from an Apple ID when you were not in the Bluetooth range, then you need to physically reset it by removing and reinserting the battery five times.
Apple’s AirTag presents a smart solution for keeping track of essential items, employing a blend of Bluetooth, UWB technology, and the expansive Find My network. Its user-friendly setup and focus on privacy make it a versatile and reliable tool for everyday use, providing peace of mind for those prone to misplacing their belongings.
