The Find My app for iPhone and iPad makes it easy to keep track of your Apple devices – you can do so on your Mac and on iCloud (although they work slightly differently). With the launch of iOS 14.5 and iPad OS 14.5, you can now keep tabs on other items too, thanks to support for third-party hardware such as Belkin’s SoundForm True Wireless AirPods and VanMoof’s S3 and X3 E-bikes, plus you can also use it to track more personal items such as keys and bags. All you need to do is attach and activate an Apple AirTag (£29) or Chipolo ONE Spot (£28) to each one, then select the items tab in the Find My app to locate each object you’ve added a tag to.
