Apple's AirTags can survive splashes and brief water exposure, but they're not designed for submersion. Here's what you need to know about their actual water resistance.
AirTags carry an IP67 rating, meaning they can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of fresh water for 30 minutes. This protects against accidental splashes, rain, and brief dunks.
However, the rating has limits. Salt water, chlorinated pools, and pressurized water from hoses or showers can damage the device. The adhesive connecting internal components may also weaken with prolonged moisture exposure.
For items like pet collars or luggage, AirTags offer solid protection in everyday scenarios. But if your item regularly enters water—such as a kayak or fishing gear—consider a waterproof case.
Damage from water isn't covered under Apple's standard warranty, so protection matters. If an AirTag gets wet, power it off and let it dry completely before using it again. Avoid charging it until fully dry to prevent internal short circuits.
The IP67 rating provides practical durability for most users, but treat AirTags as water-resistant rather than waterproof.
