If, after a specific amount of time, when an AirTag is separated (roughly > 50') from its associated iPhone, it will start to beep. It is "assuming" that is was left behind. You should see a notification on your phone as well.


To disable this, you can define that (for example) your home would be a location that you do not want these notifications. You would do this via the Find My app on your phone. From the app, select the Items tab. Then select your AirTag > Notifications > Notify When Left Behind > Notify Me, Except At


Alternately, you can just disable the left behind notifications all together.
