AirTag not connecting to iPhone 16 Pro Max after battery replacement

I haven’t used my Apple AirTag for a few years so I replaced the battery it has beeped. I have attempted to reset it and I still can’t connect it to my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Your AirTag should still be paired to the same Apple Account (not to any particular device) which you were using then.


Are you using the same Apple Account now?
