The iPhone and iPad User Guides are a rich source of information about iPhone and iPad and the many features of iOS/iPadOS. 


Here are direct links, to the relevant section of each Guide, that describes the Notify When Left Behind feature and its configuration:

Set separation alerts in case you leave a device behind in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support

Set separation alerts in case you leave a device behind in Find My on iPad - Apple Support


This feature allows Notification alerts to be configured for your iPhone, iPad, Mac devices, AirPods and AirTag. You can configure this feature to ignore one or more specific locations (such as when deliberately leaving a device at home or your office) while remaining active - and capable of generating alerts - when the device is being used elsewhere.
