If the AirTag has been set to lost mode, the new Apple AirTag tracking device has a function that lets anyone who discovers one of these tiny position beacons to scan it with a mobile phone and know its owner’s phone number.
Set it to Lost Mode, which generates a unique URL at https://found.apple.com and allows the user to leave a customised message and phone number. Anyone who discovers the AirTag and scans it with an Apple or Android phone will see the owner’s message and a unique Apple URL.
