There's no word on what new features the firmware might add, but firmware released back in June added anti-stalking enhancements (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/03/apple-airtags-anti-stalking-measures/).





There is no way to force an AirTag update, as it's something that's done over-the-air through a connected iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/). To make sure the update happens, you can put your AirTag in range of your ‌‌iPhone‌‌, but you have to wait for the firmware to roll out to your device.





You can check your current AirTag firmware version through the Find My (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/find-my-network-accessory-program/) app, with instructions available in our how to (https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/check-airtags-firmware-version/).<div class="linkback">Tag: AirTags (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airtags/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: AirTags (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/airtags.232)</div>
