Add or update a third-party item in Find My on iPod touch

Certain third-party products are now designed to work with the Find My app . In iOS 14.3 or later, you can register these products to your Apple ID using your iPod touch, and then use the Items tab of Find My to locate them if they’re lost or misplaced.

You can also add an AirTag to the Items tab. See Add an AirTag in Find My on iPod touch.

Tap Connect, type a name and select an emoji, then tap Continue.
Tap Continue to register the item to your Apple ID, then tap Finish.
