Traveling away from airtags at home

I have AirTags on my kids "lovies" and when I travel away from them for more than a few days, the airtags start pinging and we can't figure out how to turn that off! Help :)

That's how airtags work.

It's also why you aren't supposed to use them on animals.

Remove Airtag beeping / provide way to see airtag location from multiple devices / different Apple IDs It should be possible to disable the airtag beeping / be possible to access the airtag (location) from different Apple IDs / devices, e.g. Android devices as well, in order for my family members to also check the airtag location and secure their things with Airtags. I see the possible reasons for why Apple would implement this, but I just don't use my iPhone as primary mobile phone and Apple is forcing me to do so, by implementing this "great" security measure, which requires me to have all my AirTags at least couple times a week close to my iPhone. I want to be able to fully manage Airtags using my Macbook only, without having to charge my iPhone at all, if I don't want to.

How do I know if I have an AirTag on any of my stuff that someone else put there? How do I tell if someone put an AirTag on my car or on my stuff?

Airtag Location Updates I am expecting to see the real time location of the airtag when I am away from it but it only updates the location when only my device get near to it. For example, I leave the house at 7AM, it says last location at 7AM. I have family members at home with current apple mobile devices, iPads and watche bluetooth enabled etc but the location only updates when I get home at 5PM from my device they even carry the airtag around and it won’t respond to anything else. How can I make this airtag to update it's location even though I am not near it. Thanks Tom
