BagID 2 uses the Apple Find My app to track your stuff. Inside the app you can see exactly where your BagID 2 is on the map, down to the actual address. The Find My network consists of hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads and Macs around the world. They help you locate your belongings.

To use the Apple Find My app to locate BagID 2, the latest version of iOS, iPad OS or macOS is recommend. All other functions can be used with your Android OS.

However for Android users we recommend BagID GO which is based on GPS and mobile communication for tracking..

The Apple Find My app offers a way to be notified of your BagID 2´s location when it is not with you. This feature can only be activated when your BagID 2 is not detected in your device's Bluetooth range. Its very convinient to activate when you send your baggage at the airport.

This will simply push a notification to your device(s) with an updated location when it's spotted by an Apple Find My enabled device. 

This functionality is great to activate after you have checked-in your baggage at the airport!

BagID 2 sends out an encrypted Bluetooth signal through devices in the Find My network. These devices then forward BagID 2’s position to iCloud. Your privacy is always 100% secured in this process. Nor Apple or BagID have the opportunity to find out where your digital bag tag is.

To pair the BagID 2 to the Apple Find My app open the Find My app then head over to the items fan and click the "+" button, than "Add other item" and follow the guide.

If it has gone more than 10minutes from you activated the Find My until you´ve added the BagID 2 device you need to Deactivate and Activate Find My again.

BagID has been designed in close collaboration with airlines and airports, and is designed to handle shock, rain and rough baggage handling.

The cover features rough edges for extra resistance against impact on the sides. The screen is made of a flexible material so that it is bendable and should not break, and the display is covered with a special designed protective glass. It is extremely resistant to scratches.
