An annoyed AirTag owner has unintentionally found the presence of a hidden “designer mode” in the on-screen interface that Find My displays when the Precision Finding feature is triggered to assist find one of Apples product trackers.
Accuracy Finding is a feature that supplies users with particular on-screen instructions for finding a close-by AirTag. iPhones with a U1 chip, that includes the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 12 models, can make the most of the feature, which combines electronic camera input, AR, noise, Ultra Wideband radio innovation, and haptic feedback to help locate the item tracker.
The concealed modes overlay, which appears after tapping the items name four times in the Precision Finding user interface, shows real-time diagnostic and technical info about the functions operation, consisting of accelerometer and gyroscope collaborates, haptic feedback, screen resolution, tracking animations, and more.
Reddit user “cyem” came across the concealed mode after becoming annoyed with the efficiency of their AirTag, especially when Precision Finding is triggered:

Surprisingly enough, I tapped on my name about 5 times in disappointment, and discovered what appears to be a covert designer mode. Even more interesting, the arrow appears to in fact be working underneath – just not in the normal mode.
The concealed mode in iOS 14.5 is not likely to be particularly useful to the typical user, and the sliders and buttons that it tosses up most likely shouldnt be controlled unless you know what youre doing. Still, the discovery provides an appealing peek under the hood at the hardware and calibration included every time an AirTags Precision Finding is allowed.
