"Notify When Left Behind" Keeps Turning Itself On

Hello NRRIndy,

We recommend trying to manually add a location where you don't want to be notified to see if you can still use the feature while not being notified when leaving home. Here's how: Set up and use Notify When Left Behind in the Find My app - Apple Support

"Add locations where you don't want to be notified

1. On your iPhone, open the Find My app.
2. Tap Devices or Items.
3. Tap a device.
4. Under Notifications, tap Notify When Left Behind.
5. From here you can:

• See your Home as a location where you won't be notified.
• Tap New Location to add locations where you don't want to be notified when something's left there.
• Tap the delete button  next to a location where you want to be notified when something's left there."

Take care!

I'm still digging but it has to do with "Significant Locations".

Your AirPods are probably new, right?

For a couple weeks, it alerted me that I was leaving my new iPad at home. The notifications stopped and I didn't do anything in the settings of either device.

It ended up being on my iPhone, 11 layers deep, but I think I found it. It's not exactly what I remember reading.

"...your device will suggest locations where you will not receive notifications..."

It didn't actually suggest anything to me in writing, it just learned on its own and quit notifying me.

Give it some time and the Apple Artificial Intelligence will learn that it's a secure location and it will stop notifying you.

I would have to do some digging to provide you with an Apple link that says this, but I am not able to right now.

I'll come back and post it later if I get some time to look for it.

For now... Just give it a week (or two). I promise that it will quit.

Hey NRRIndy,

If those steps haven't helped, we'd recommend contacting Apple Support for assistance here: Apple Support

Thanks!
