I got an android equivalent of Airtag and a cat collar holder, thinking to check where my cat hangs out when he’s not home. Not on a regular basis, but to let him wear it a few times to get an idea if i ever have to look for him.
My cat doesn’t normally wear any collar, and this collar is a safety release one, so I’m a bit worried it may fall off in one of the neighbours garden, which would be embarrassing to retrieve.
Anyone with experience of using the Tags to track their cat?
That would make them completely useless. So I don’t believe a word of it.
All the magic of Airtags is in iOS automatically scanning for them and reporting the phone location when an Airtag is detected.
Anyone can move an Airtag undetected, as long as it is shielded from being pinged by Apple devices. Apple will continue to report its last detected location.
Not sure if Google is also playing along.
Yeah you should definitely read people’s reviews. This is why I decided against using them and it’s why the gps tracking ones with a subscription exist.
Because airtags are Bluetooth.
That’s why they can be so small and use such little power.
Still useful to find your keys. Or track luggage if you are at the airport where it is.
It can also keep track of location pings. Meaning you can see where something was the last time it connected.
It’s still useful. It’s just not a gps tracker.
