If you have the new Apple AirTag trackers on your hands, you can set up the whole thing with your iPhone. Here is a step-by-step guide to set up a new AirTag with your iPhone, that too with a custom name and emoji set to it. Before anything, be sure your iOS version is 14.5 or newer.
First of all, you have to pull the plastic tab out of your AirTag to turn on the tracker. Once you do that, take your phone to get along with further steps.
Before anything make sure you have “Find My” enabled on the iPhone by going to Settings > Your Name > Find My > Find My iPhone > On.
Now, enable Bluetooth on your iPhone to make sure the connection works very well.
Moving ahead to the steps, take the AirTag tracker on your hands and hold it near your iPhone. A popup will appear on your iPhone to set up AirTag.
In case you do not see a setup pop-up on iPhone for AirTag, open the Find My app on your iPhone and go to the Items tab. Tap on the “Add new” button “Add AirTag” there.
Select “Connect” from the AirTag connection popup on iPhone.
The next screen will ask you to select a name from the menu. Let us not settle for the default ones, down to the bottom of the list to select Custom Name and tap Continue.
The next screen will prompt you to give a custom name for your AirTag. Enter what you wish and continue.
From the next screen, choose an emoji for the AirTag.
Now, continue to register your AirTag with your Apple ID.
Once the setup is done, the app will show you the Maps details and options to control your AirTag tracker. Unlike your friends who set up AirTag with the default name on it, you now have set up a new AirTag with a custom name as you wish.
