The Cupertino tech giant has released a new round of software updates across its ecosystem, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Among them, the WatchOS 26.2.1 update brings a notable upgrade to AirTag functionality on Apple Watch.
With this update, Precision Finding for AirTag now works at up to twice the previous distance, marking the first time Apple has enhanced AirTag tracking capabilities directly on the Apple Watch. The feature is available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, as well as Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.
Precision Finding uses haptic, visual, and audio cues to guide users with accurate directions to a misplaced AirTag. Until now, this feature was limited to the iPhone, but Apple has extended the same experience to the Apple Watch, making it easier to locate lost items directly from the wrist.
