![]() ![]() ![]() This really does prove that lost mode can be vital in getting your AirTag back if you do misplace it. This is far preferable to scabbling around on my hands and knees in dense forest trying to track down the AirTag myself. When I called back and confirmed I had indeed lost an AirTag, Carl said he would place the AirTag in an envelope marked with my name, and said I was free to collect at any point.Īs I know exactly where the AirTag is now, I’ll be jumping in my car and heading straight to the visitors center to collect the envelope containing my location tracker and once again, pass on my thanks to Carl for taking the time to get in touch. He then held the AirTag near the NFC reader on the Pixel 4a, which loaded a web page explaining the AirTag had been lost and a request to call the telephone number on the website, so he did just that. “The app confirmed there was an AirTag nearby, but didn’t offer up any contact details,” Carl said. He started searching the web and soon discovered the white disc was in fact an AirTag, and then was able to find instructions on how to interrogate it and discover any contact details associated with it.Ĭarl said he used the Tracker Detect app for his Google Pixel 4a initially but that didn’t provide much information. “I didn’t know it had any value at first, but I realized it was something Apple-ish,” Carl told TechRadar. I can only assume the finder either didn’t know what the AirTag was - but perhaps saw the Apple logo and assumed it was a gadget someone was missing - or they knew it was an AirTag but their phone didn’t support NFC. The caller was Carl from Forestry England at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest visitor center, enquiring if I had lost anything, so I immediately rang back and explained I had indeed misplaced my AirTag there back in November.Ĭarl told TechRadar it has been handed in by another member of the public visiting the forest, although they didn’t provide any details about where they had found it. However, I soon got a voicemail notification - meaning it must be more than an unsolicited sales call. Last Sunday morning, I received a phone call, and being an unknown number I let the call go straight to voicemail - the last thing I wanted was to deal with cold callers on what was supposed to be a restful day.
