How many AirTags can you connect?

This means you can track and manage the location of 16 different items simultaneously using the Find My app. Keep in mind that this limit is set by Apple to ensure optimal performance and to prevent misuse.

It’s essential to note that the number of AirTags you can have is tied to your Apple ID rather than the individual devices you own. Therefore, whether you use an iPhone, iPad, or any other Apple device, the 16 AirTag limit remains constant across your account.

Although 16 might appear adequate for many users, there are instances where this restriction could become problematic. People who often switch between different bags, accessories, or items they want to track might reach the maximum limit sooner than expected.

2 Workarounds and Alternatives

Some workarounds are available for those who require tracking beyond the 16-device limit.

• One possible solution is to use multiple Apple IDs across different devices, allowing each account to connect up to 16 AirTags. However, this method might complicate the tracking process as it requires managing multiple accounts.
• Another alternative is to use tracking devices from third-party manufacturers that aren’t bound by similar restrictions. However, it’s worth noting that these devices may not work as smoothly with Apple’s ecosystem and may miss out on certain features found in AirTags, like the accurate tracking enabled by the extensive network of Apple devices.
