Using your Tracking Card

Learn what the feature does and how to set it up.

Set up Left Behind notifications
Get alerted when you walk away without your card.
  1. Open Find My and select Items.
  2. Select your Tracking Card.
  3. Scroll to Notifications.
  4. Tap Notify When Left Behind and switch it on.
  5. Under "Notify Me, Except At", add home or other trusted locations where alerts are not needed.
Share your card with family
Share access when another person may carry the item. This helps them locate it and prevents unnecessary alerts.
  1. Open Find My and select Items.
  2. Select your Tracking Card.
  3. Scroll to Share Item and tap Add Person.
  4. Select the family member and send the invitation to the Apple ID they use for Find My.
  5. Ask them to accept the invitation in their Find My app.

You must share it with another person's Apple ID. You cannot share it with the Apple ID that already owns the card.

Understand and check location updates
The Tracking Card is not a live GPS tracker. Its location updates when a nearby Apple device detects it.
  1. Open Find My and select Items.
  2. Select your Tracking Card.
  3. Check the location and the "last seen" time shown on the map.
  4. If it has not updated, wait and check again later.

Updates happen more frequently in busy areas and take longer in quiet or remote locations. This is normal Find My behaviour.

Play a sound
Use this when the item is nearby but not visible.
  1. Open Find My and select Items.
  2. Select your Tracking Card.
  3. Tap Play Sound.
  4. Follow the sound to locate the item.
Charge your Tracking Card
Your Tracking Card arrives pre-charged and ready to use for 8 months.
  1. Place the left side of the card over the center of  the charger.
  2. A red light means the card is charging.
  3. A green light means the card is fully charged.
  4. Remove the card once charging is complete.

Placement needs to be precise. Slowly adjust the left side of the card until the red light stays steady. If a fully charged card briefly shows red when placed back on the charger, this is normal and it will return to green shortly.

Privacy and unwanted tracking alerts
Your Tracking Card uses Apple's Find My network. An unwanted-tracking alert can appear when an unfamiliar Find My item seems to be moving with someone.
  1. Open the alert on your phone.
  2.  Tap the option to play a sound and locate the item.
  3. If you do not recognise it, follow the safety instructions shown by Apple.
Device compatibility
The Tracking Card connects through Apple Find My and must be set up using an iPhone or iPad. Once paired, you can track it from any Apple device signed into the same Apple ID, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is not compatible with Android.
