For example, if you misplace an AirTag-equipped book bag, nearby Apple devices can anonymously alert Apple. Find my network When the bag is near, My Find app will tell you the location. Since there is more than two billion iPhones, iPads, Macs and other Apple gadgets that are active in nature have a better chance of finding something here than other trackers that use networks looking for a smaller crowd.
