Apple seems to have intentionally rid of a fairly large Airtag functionality, and it has now been confirmed as missing from iOS 15.6 and the beta iOS 16 version. From now on, you can no longer follow the battery levels of Your vents in the search for my application, and the function seems to be completelydisappeared. The fact that the functionality was deleted from the research research in these two versions of iOS implies that this could happen – Apple may have disconnected the sheet and decided not to bring it back.
If you have never possessed a Airtag apple, let’s put it at speed first with what they do exactly. As we have explored in our original Airtag review, AirTags are small circular devices that can be attached to a certain number of elements, whether it is a keychain or a backpack. Once attached to something and properly configured, an Airtag will help you follow where the important elements are located via the Apple find my application. If you lose your wallet, you can make your Airtag play a sound or use an iPhone to find it with a precision conclusion.
Although AirTags are not particularly eager for power, their battery capacity is finished – after using one for a while, you will have to replace its battery. The AirTag itself does not have a user interface, but the connection to your Apple devices had – so far – has given you an indication of its battery level. Unfortunately, according to MacRumors and Iculture.NL, this no longer seems to be the case.
Apple may have had reasons to get rid of the functionality
Before this change, Airtags de Apple had a small battery indicator. Although it is not on the device itself, it could still be useful. It was located in Apple Find My App, where each air aerat would have a small battery icon that looked a lot like any smartphone or tablet. It did not provide users with a lot of information, because it did not offer any real percentage value, but you still have a visual of the life of your battery which would become red when it was time to replace it. Apple also sent notifications at that time as a reminder.
Starting with the latest version of iOS – iOS 15.6 – There is no battery icon at all. Instead, Apple sends you a notification when the battery is at a critical level and must be replaced. As mentioned above, this change seems intentional – Apple also deleted the icon in find my interfaces in MacOS Monterey 12.5 and in Watchos 8.7. To top it all, it has changed the content of a support document for AirTags, now referring to a pop-up warning that will appear when your Airtag battery is low, and the potential of a brief appearance of a Red battery indicator in searching for my application just before it died.
Apple did not officially comment on the issue, but it is possible that he has chosen to get rid of the monitoring of the battery life on the AirTags, because it was often inaccurate, some users obtaining requests to replace the Battery after using the device only once. As such, we may have to get used to the new game of battery riddles to which Apple seems to be heading.
