How It Works - YIP Smart Tag (Works with Apple Find My)

The YIP Smart Tag works with the Apple Find My network. This means that your tag communicates with almost every iPhone in the world and therefore, the range is virtually worldwide. When you iPhone is more than 300 feet away from your tag, it will go into extended range mode and begin looking for other iPhone devices to communicate with. Once it comes within 300 feet of another iPhone, the location of your YIP Smart Tag will update in the Apple Find My app. In general, the tag will update about once every 10 to 15 minutes. If you haven't seen it update for a while, we recommend turning on the "Notify Me When Found" button. As soon as your tag comes in contact with another iPhone, you will receive a notification on your iPhone.  This will give you the most timely information about the location of your tag.

 

The YIP Smart Tag for Samsung Galaxy Phones and The YIP Smart Tag for iPhone devices are separate products and are not cross compatible   Please make sure you purchase the correct version for you smartphone.
