My phone is away from 1 AirTag for 17 hours a day, (our Air Tag is on the cat harness) My second Airtag is at my parents home, app is only on my phone, over 46 miles away. Over 30 hours, from my phone, and didn’t alert our granddaughter’s IPhone when she stopped at their house.
If air tag Lost Mode is not activated, it has not show up on any of the iPhones in the 11 houses around our house.
This afternoon neighbor attached one to their dogs collar, and their son took him for a run. We could actually watch on their Mac the map where they were. 17 IPhone were all at the neighborhood gathering, no one could see the air tag except on the owners app.
Pretty sure my cat isn’t worried about stalking laws, but if she gets out, I might have a good chance of finding her.
I might have missed the info from Apple info app on install. How long is long enough time to alert I phone users? My app tells me only if I activate Lost Mode can any iPhone user see the Airtag. Our neighbor left their pup at breeders, and we’re 1400 miles away, for 8 days, and Air tag never notified any iPhone, that came to the kennel.
Reading an article and actually using a product is very different.
