6. Troubleshooting
- Tracker not connecting to Find My app:
Ensure Bluetooth and Location Services are enabled on your iOS device. Make sure the tracker's battery is not depleted. Try restarting your iOS device and the tracker (by removing and reinserting the battery). - Sound alert is not loud enough or not working:
Check if the tracker is obstructed or covered by other items. Ensure the battery is not low. The sound level is between 80-100dB, which may vary based on environment. - Inaccurate location or delayed updates:
Location accuracy depends on the density of Apple devices in the vicinity. In areas with fewer Apple devices, updates may be less frequent or less precise. Ensure your iOS device has a stable internet connection. - 'Notify When Left Behind' alerts are not working:
Verify that the feature is enabled in the Find My app for the specific tag. Check if the location you are leaving is added as a 'Notify Me, Except At' safe zone. - Cannot share the tag with others:
Ensure all users have iOS 17, iPadOS 17, or macOS 14 or later installed. Verify that the recipient's Apple ID is correct.
