So with this tiny $25 thingy my neighbor can track me in real-time after gluing it to my car? Nice. No, honestly, this is a bit concerning, isn't it?

I don't have iOS devices. > And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it. What is the definition of an extended period of time? One week? Two?
- fma 6y agoNow that I think about it...My wife has an iPhone and I have Samsung Galaxy. If we put it on keys that we share...it would be very annoying to have it beep at me as I drive just because my wife's phone isn't there. If it does not beep on my drive then it is still possible for your neighbor to track you as when you come home it would trigger the "owner is near". Sticking with Tile, which is cross platform, thank you very much.
