Example: When I am shopping at the grocery store, I would like to be notified on my watch if my wallet or phone have been taken from the shopping cart. I would like to set the distance of no more than 10 feet since I remain with the cart at a distance of less than that.
Can a distance be set for an item that is separated from the watch?
Thanks for the response. It appears that the notification settings are based upon address. I would like to know if someone has an item at that address.
Another example: If someone picks up my backpack at the airport, I would like to be notified. Since we are both at the airport, the notification would need to be based upon the distance from my watch.
Thank you for the suggestion. I have air tags in my wallet and backpack and on my keys. The distance from the watch is the important when I am not at home.
I posted the suggestion.
I should make your suggestions here;
Can you set an item location notification based upon distance?
