The YIP Smart Tag offers worldwide coverage, as it communicates with hundreds of millions of Apple devices. Here is how it works.
"With You" Mode
If your are within range of your YIP Smart Tag (approximately 300 feet), Apple Find My will show that the tag is with you.
Extended Range Mode
If your smart tag in not in range of your iPhone, the tag will go into extended range mode and begin looking for other iPhone devices to communicate with. As soon as the smart tag comes within 300 feet of another iPhone, the location of your smart tag will update on your iPhone, in the Apple Find My app.
When in extended range mode, your smart tag will look to update its location approximately every 15 minutes. If your smart tag shows more than "15 minutes ago", this indicates that your smart tag has not come within range of another iPhone. As soon as it does, the location will be updated. If you are waiting for the location to be updated, you can turn on the "notify me when found" button and you will receive a notification as soon as your smart tag comes in contact with another iPhone.
