I've seen several sources claim that Apple has made an official statement somewhere that using Air Tags for pets is not a good idea. Does anyone have a link to that statement? I'd like to read it myself.
The only thing I have found is a statement that was made by one Apple executive. Both of the following articles refer to the same statement. See: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/22/airtags-for-items-not-pets-children/
and https://www.makeuseof.com/should-you-use-airtags-as-pet-trackers/
AFAIK, FoxFifth provided the known articles related to using Apple AirTags with pets.
Looking at this the other way, why would you think that these tags would be ideal for tracking your pet? IMHO, the only advantages these tags have, for that purpose, is their small size, their battery life, and their low cost compared to dedicated GPS-based trackers. Other than that, I would thing everything else about them would be a disadvantage.
