This is the thread I'm replying to: "Curious, do you find an Airtag on your dog's leash to be effective?" "It's just to see what they're doing with her" "If I do you the favor of watching your dog, I'm going to be pissed if you're spying on me during the process." "but how do you ask a friend if you can track them 24/7 without sounding like a giant creep?" So it's not clear how a GPS tracker on the dog's collar is different than an air-tag on the leash?

You skipped over the Comment I replied to which contains the following: > We're all on each others' Find My Friends, and have no problem knowing who is where. I even have non-blood-related friends on there, as do some of my other family members. Along with a lot of replies that try to explain how constant surveillance of their friends is fine. You tracking your dog and incidentally tracking a friend while they are walking said dog is completely different then tracking your friends 24/7 via their iPhone. It does not make a difference if you track your dog with a GPS tracker or AirTag, but it is fundamentally different than what the comment was about.

I'd find that more invasive if I was worried about tracking. At least with an app in my control, I can turn off tracking when I want to, but if I watch my friend's dog while he's out of town and he sees me walking the dog to his girlfriend's house every night, he's going to ask questions.

    Why? Would you really prefer to be tracked by your friend every hour of every day instead of only when you are walking their dog? I do not believe that.

      Well no, that's the advantage of my own device controlling when my location is shared -- I'd turn off the FindMyFriends tracking except for when I want to be tracked (like if I'm going out to meet friends and want them to be able to find me)
