AirTag updates are infrequent, and there is no word yet on what’s included in the new firmware. Apple has shared release notes in the past, and software updates are usually bug fixes and improvements.
In the past, new AirTag firmware was distributed on a rolling basis over two weeks, but it appears the latest firmware is available for all AirTag 2 users immediately.
You can check your AirTag firmware by opening up the Find My app, going to the Items tab, tapping on an AirTag in the list, and tapping on the AirTag’s name to see its firmware version.
There is no way to force an AirTag update, and with firmware distributed over the air with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Make sure your AirTag is in range of an Apple device, and then wait for the firmware to roll out.
