[Fixed] How to Remove an AirTag from Your Apple ID Account?

Part 1. What Exactly Does an AirTag Do?

Before discussing how to remove AirTag from Apple ID, you should know more about the function itself. The AirTag feature is available for iOS devices. Therefore, one can register the AirTag process with the Apple ID you are utilizing on your smartphone.
