AirTag? Does anyone know?

[Anonymous]

My dog wears an AirTag on her collar, and my iPhone repeatedly gives me a prompt to synch with the AirTag whenever she gets close. Not sure if that would happen in your scenario.

I get alerted that I left my iPad or AirPods behind at a hotel - but never if I leave them at home - so you’ll need to change the settings so he doesn’t get a pop up on his phone saying “you left your air tag behind” when he parks the car.

If you set up a new Apple ID and get an air tag, he can’t see it, but eventually if it goes where he goes for a while he will get a notification on his phone that says “unknown AirTag is following you”. It will also make noise periodically. The only way that will work is if you put it in a bag of your items in the trunk and then you can claim you were not tracking him and you just misplaced the AirTag.

What if the person has an Android? Doesn't it show up in the bluetooth setting?

Not true. If someone leaves an airtag in your car, you get alerted.

I can see all of the devices of all of my family members because they are all registered to one account. When I click on Find mY, the list is a long scroll.

If you don’t share accounts, you can leave a device in his car, like apple airpods and it will show on your “find my” app under devices. If he finds them, it leaves you with plausible deniability - “oh I’ve been looking for those”. Just make sure you leave them in a laudably lost spot that you would have been in at some point. (Under the seat, in between seat cushions, in the trunk if you got something out of there recently, etc.

Use a fleet tracker. I recommend LandAirSea. Anything that piggybacks on the FindMy network will alert the person it’s following.
