AirTags cannot be tracked using a web browser. Currently, the only way to locate an AirTag is through the Find My app on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, or Macs. The web version of iCloud does not support AirTag tracking, as confirmed by multiple sources.
Key Points:
- Find My App Requirement: To track AirTags, users must utilize the Find My app on an Apple device. The app leverages Bluetooth and the Find My network to relay location information back to the userâs device[2][3].
- Web Browser Limitation: Although some discussions suggest that tracking might be possible through iCloud's web interface, it has been confirmed that the functionality is not available. Users cannot track AirTags via www.icloud.com/find[1][2].
- Technical Constraints: AirTags communicate their location through nearby Apple devices that detect them via Bluetooth. This information is then sent to Apple's servers, but this process is not accessible through non-Apple devices or web browsers[3][4].
In summary, if you need to track an AirTag, you will need to use an Apple device with the Find My app installed; there is no current option for tracking through a web browser.
