AirTags

[si001]

I’m just wondering about very hot or very cold temperatures damaging the AirTags, if it’s always in the car?

If they know that they are there, then it wouldn't be an issue.

My wife and daughter would know that they are there, I am wondering about their phone notifying them constantly about an unknown device. Maybe there is a way for all of our devices to recognize it as a known device.

That might be worth checking out with Apple Support via an online chat!

One year later (or almost), how far along is your AirTag battery “life”?

Mine are all at about 75% charge remaining, so much more than the announced 1 year.

One of mine is around 75%, and one is clearly under 50%. Of course, I got them at different times.

Mine are around 75% and 40% after one year.

By the way for those of you who are needing to replace your batteries please check out this article that was posted by iMore‘s Karen Freeman a couple of days ago. It’s got valuable information about exactly which batteries to purchase.

I'm trying to understand something about tracking notifications and AirTags/AirPods, etc.

Recently, my wife left her AirPods in my truck and I received a notice that the owner could see my location. No issue, that's working as intended.

Why don't I see that when she's in the truck with me (with her AirPods)? Or when we are in the golf cart and her bag has an AirTag on it?

I think it's because her phone is near the device so it's registering that the device owner is nearby. But I don't get that notice when she's not home but I'm loading/unloading golf clubs in the truck.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want more notifications when she's near. But I'm trying to understand the tracking notifications.

Your iPhone knows your home, AirTags won’t trigger an alert if it’s at home.

My husband has actually wondered the same thing.

I received my first battery low notification today. And it cleared itself about 30 minutes later.

Just in case, I bought a couple of CR2032 batteries

I’ve got the same result as Ed7789. 70%after about a year.
I got my first NFC AirTag alert banners yesterday. In a grocery store I rarely go to. Me and another AirTag user must have been on the same shopping aisle to aisle movements.

Make sure your new batteries don't have a bitter coating on them. Apparently, they don't work with the AirTags.

There's no mention of any form of coating on the packaging
I know Duracell batteries will not work with the AirTags, because of the coating they use, so I took another brand completely

Awesome! When I bought mine on amazon, I too saw that Duracell wouldn't work and got another brand as well!
