Lost your earbuds, headphones or a Bluetooth tag? Bluetooth device tag finder shows you which Bluetooth devices are nearby and guides you to the one you're looking for, getting warmer as you get closer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app and allow Bluetooth. 2. Scan to see the devices around you. 3. Pick the one you lost. 4. Walk around slowly: the signal meter rises and the app tells you when you're getting warmer or colder. FEATURES • Nearby devices: see Bluetooth devices around you with their signal strength, and search the list. • Getting warmer: beeps and vibrations speed up as you get closer to your device. • My devices: save your devices with your own names and icons. • Last-seen map: see where your iPhone was when it last detected a saved device. • Play sound: play a sound on supported devices, or a loud chirp through earbuds connected to your iPhone. • Left-behind alerts: get notified when a saved device goes out of range (for devices that allow a connection). • Home Screen widget and Live Activity: check your devices and follow a search from the Lock Screen. WORKS WITH Bluetooth earbuds and headphones, speakers, fitness trackers, smartwatches, key finders and other Bluetooth Low Energy accessories, as long as they're switched on, charged, within Bluetooth range and broadcasting. AirPods can be found while they're out of the case or the case is open. GOOD TO KNOW • Signal strength is an estimate. Walls and people affect it, so distances are approximate. • Devices that are switched off, out of battery or out of range can't be detected. • Many Apple devices don't let other apps connect to them. For those, also use Apple's Find My app. SUBSCRIPTION Unlimited use of the app needs a subscription: • Monthly, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. • Weekly, with no free trial. The price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. • You can manage or cancel your subscription in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. • Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
