Many of the estimated 1.56 billion people who use an Apple iPhone probably have an Apple AirTag to go with it – it’s the ideal gadget to help keep track of keys, bags, or the life lived on a smartphone.

But while that is an obvious use for the tag, there are other uses that you may not know about.

In fact, there are said to be five ways in which you can use an Apple AirTag to help it live up to its full potential – and one of them could save you hundreds of dollars.

Make sure you don’t forget your luggage with an AirTag

The frequent flyers among you may sometimes worry about losing their luggage.

But drop an AirTag into it, and you can track all of its movements at an airport.

Plus, you don’t need to stand by the conveyor belt waiting all the time.

Even better is that if you lose your luggage in transit, you can find out where it is and how long before it gets back to you.

Helping you keep track of packages

This might sound slightly odd, but hear us out.

If you are posting something expensive and want to track it every step of the way, then pop your AirTag in the box.

If the package never reaches its destination and is lost or stolen, the tag will help you get it back.

Yes, your AirTag will have gone on its travels, but the package recipient could then mail it back to you.

It is slightly risky, but it could have some cool benefits.

How an AirTag can save you hundreds of dollars

Now for the big one, and that is to ensure you don’t lose your drone.

If you fly a drone, you will know they can be expensive, although some do come with built-in tracking.

However, not all do, but attaching an AirTag to a drone can really help you track it.

Plus, you can buy dedicated brackets for an AirTag to attach to a drone.

These can cost as little as $10.

If your drone came down in a wooded area, the AirTag would help you find where it has landed.

So rather than lose your expensive flying machine, you can keep an eye on it wherever it may be.

The tag can help you find the TV remote

If you are prone to losing the TV remote control around the house, then an Apple AirTag could solve that problem.

Secure it to the remote, and then you don’t have to worry about losing it ever again.

Even if it just ended up under a table or behind the couch, it can save a lot of searching around the house.

An AirTag can keep an eye on your property

This final use really does maximize the potential of the tag.

The tag can detect iPhones nearby.

If you have a remote property or a garage with something expensive in it, that could be useful.

Attach it to the entrance, and if someone appears that you don’t want there, you can detect their presence.

If they were within the AirTag’s range, it would update their location on the app on your iPhone.

So as it turns out, AirTags are useful for more than just finding your keys or bags.
