I had the opposite experience. I bought a bunch of these for aging parents. Set them up on their phones, not my own phone, and put them on everything for my folks. Dad lent me a suitcase, with one of his air tags in the pocket, and a week in I still had not received any warnings. I thought it was troubling, and I wanted to see how long it would take. So I left it in my back seat for two months… at some point I just forgot it was there. It provided Dad with my car’s location until the battery died. At no point did I get any warning it was there. I don’t have any sort of joint account or family plan for iPhones. This made me really nervous about how these worked. I don’t think they do enough to tell people when they are being stalked. This all happened a year or two ago when the tags first came out. I got rid of all my AirTags after. I don’t think they respect privacy and that makes them unsafe. It makes me happy to hear people saying they got notifications. But I didn’t. Oh one more thing… I thought I turned off location tracking on my phone and it still knew where the tags that connected to my phone were. Just shows you can’t really ever turn location tracking off.
