AirTag
Finding an item with Find My
Nearby Find My devices can relay an AirTag’s Bluetooth signal. The owner views location information in Find My; updates depend on detection and connectivity.

DRIYU + AIRTAG
Know what each tool does.
AirTag helps locate items through Apple’s Find My network. Driyu gives a finder a pet profile and contact options. Here is how those experiences differ.

A profile for the person who finds them
A phone camera opens the public profile in a browser. Visible contacts follow the owner’s settings. Internet is needed to load the page.

The details that matter.
| Detail | AirTag | Driyu QR |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Finding objects through Apple’s Find My network. | Helping someone identify a pet and reach its owner. |
| Location | Network-assisted location; not a standalone GPS pet tracker. | No tracking. A finder may share a location in a report. |
| Power | Replaceable coin-cell battery. | No battery in the QR tag. |
| Finder’s phone | NFC-capable phone for the found-item webpage. | QR-capable camera and internet; no Driyu app required. |
| Contact options | Lost-item contact information if enabled by the owner. | Visible profile contacts follow the owner’s settings. |
| Privacy | Encrypted Find My network and unwanted-tracking protections. | Owner-controlled public profile visibility. |
| Designed for pets? | Apple describes AirTag as designed for objects, not pets. | A pet identification and recovery profile. |
ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL
AirTag does have a finder contact path.
Apple says a finder can tap an AirTag with an NFC-capable phone. If the owner marked it lost, a webpage may show a message and contact information. This is different from a Driyu pet profile.
Apple · Found AirTag and NFC contactCOMMON QUESTIONS
Understand before you choose.
Does Apple recommend using AirTag for pets?
Apple’s January 2026 announcement describes AirTag as intended for objects, excluding people and pets.
Can a stranger use my AirTag to reach me?
Yes, potentially. An NFC scan can open a found-item page. When you mark the AirTag lost and provide contact information, a finder may see how to reach you.
Does a QR pet tag need a battery like an AirTag?
No. Driyu’s QR tag is printed or engraved and has no battery. The phone used to open its profile needs power and internet.
If a finder doesn’t have an iPhone, will a QR pet tag still work?
Yes. A QR-capable Android or iPhone camera can open the Driyu profile in a browser with internet access.
Should I use both an AirTag and a QR pet tag?
They can serve different roles. AirTag location depends on its battery and Find My detection; the QR tag needs someone to find and scan it. Apple does not design AirTag for pets. Neither guarantees recovery.
