Ok, clearly you are dense.
When my husband walks the dog, you meet NO one on the route.
When you are on a school bus, besides the driver, there are no phones.
When you forget your bag in someone’s car, if you knew where it was, you wouldn’t need the **** airtag to find it, you would call your friend.
That’s the point. To help you find what you have misplaced. If w remember where stuff is, you don’t need the airtags. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Who puts their phone in a bag?? It’s in your pocket or in your hand.
ok. Let me make it simplistic for you. Reviews online for tracking pets say use Airtags. When I bought mine there was nothing on Apple’s page about not using them for pets. The day after my dog disappeared, after multiple people with multiple phones searched for multiple hours, I called Apple support & spent two **** hours on the phone with the woman, second level of support up. She couldn’t tell my why they weren’t working. She read everything I had already read, and we tried everything I had already tried, and nothing worked.
The dog was gone August 1. On August 14, when I was looking at the app, it said that the last known location was on August 11. There was never a notification that the lost tag connected to the system. In fact, it was in my possession for almost two hours before any notification ever came though.
My dog didn’t run. He could barely walk. He was mostly blind and mostly deaf, and the collar was 100’ from our house, which likely means that the eight days I spent walking, loops past where the collar was found, it never connected.
They don’t advertise it as something that won’t work when you have the same phone by it. They don’t advertise it as something that won’t work with multiple phones looking for it. In fact, the APPLE SUPPORT person said that when my husband took it in the car for 15 minutes with his cousin, and it never updated the location, that it WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.
So maybe you should contact Apple and explain to their support people how it works, or maybe you should advise them to advertise their products’ capacities and capabilities correctly before people rely on them to their detriment. Or maybe just scroll on, and let someone else read the post and be warned to save their $200 and just get a Tile instead, as it would work better.
