*You have nothing to lose if you put an airtag on a pet or child. It will still give you the possibility to find them. You're more likely to lose them in a town or city than in the woods, so it is a good thing to have.*
Parents dont want to rely on AirTags to find their kids or pets. It's just a decent priced tech which increases the chances of finding them in case they do get lost. It's better than no tracking tech.
As a person who is against chips and internally implanted technology, this is epic for dogs. I would never use a tracking device like this for my keys outside the house though. The phone relays enough info on my whereabouts. I don't need a literal tag or watch to give my position away too.
@@Lidia_AF As a parent....Things happen, kids are their own person, they tend to wander off...Also...There is kidnappers and Pedo's to worry about as well.
I only bought one airtag for my keys. If I had a dog, I think I would have bought one for it. I saw a video of a collar for a dog to hold the airtag . My cat don’t let me out of his sight. 😻Follows me everywhere. He would probably want to tag me.
Well I’m seriously thinking about putting a couple of these on a Disney lanyard when ever I take my toddlers for big days out. I know they have said it’s not for people but all parents get paranoid about there children
I bought one for my cat because she loves going outside, whenever I need to find her I just walk to where her last location was and hit “play sound” and listen for it and I’ve always find her😂
As much as they’re not intended for pets, surely adding one of these to their collar increases your chances of finding them vs having nothing at all on them
@@cassandravilla531 as far as I’m aware chips aren’t live tracking. My cat was missing for 2 months (in the neighbourhood) and has a chip. Didn’t help us find him though. If I had a airtag attached to his collar I definitely would’ve found him quicker.
I agree with you on the "don't rely on it" statement. However, if a child runs off in a shopping centre then having an Airtag attached to their backpack then that has surely got to give the parent a better chance of finding them quickly.
A thief can grab your property or your kid with an airtag in their backpack, then mark their current location as home or work and they will then get a notification that your airtag is covertly tracking them in your stolen property. They would cause it to ‘sound off’ then they find it and toss the tag, voila. That will teach you for trying to be a stalker. Basically, Apple has decided to lump all their customers into the “creeper category” when actually they just want to secure their property or loved ones. In other words it’s worthless as a theft deterrent. Sorry but true.
@@sciencescripture I don’t think you understand how it works… if specificity doesn’t sound off until around 3 days. It would only sound if the user pinged it- which why would they? Also, a kidnapper is thinking about a lot more than if a kid has a coin sized airtag on him 🤷🏻♂️ I see it as only helping..
This would be perfect for kids at places like Disney world if you happen to get separated. It’s crowed there usually and most people have iPhones these days
I agree with @Maria East Coast. Don't suggest this to people. Giving people this idea will give them some false security, when they need to be watching their kids. In reality, people need to step it up and be a parents. On the more technical side...These don't give a precision location and it doesn't update that often. I'm sure people will do it anyways, so I suggest that you also engrave them with your phone number so you can get your kid back faster. (People might not know to scan it)

knock on wood, but imagine a scenario where the small pet/kid is stuck somewhere and can't call for help INSIDE the house - I see nothing wrong with people wanting a little more security
I am considering buying one for my cat like a lot of other people. She is always like 100-200 meters around our home. Instead of walking around in the neighborhood and shouting her name, I could just walk around until my phone pings her location and look where she is at. I think its a useful device for someone that knows that its NOT GPS or any kind of live tracking. And tbh we all know that cats are lazy asf and are chilling somewhere most of the time. I dont think that there is any cat that is walking around 24/7
So, if I from now on turn my Bluetooth on ( didn’t do that because wanting to save battery) , I’m helping others? So if more ppl do that, kind of community it will form and benefit animal owner? Tks
Make sure you engrave it with your phone number and understand what it is and what it can and can't do. If you really cared about your pet, use a GPS tracker.
@@robertmiller7849 would love it if there was a GPS collar that wasn't too bulky to leave on my dog's collar, and didn't need to be recharged constantly. Airtag has it's limitations, but it's a passive solution you can just set and forget and is better than nothing.
This is will soooo free my mind when I'll put the AirTag on my cat. I am searching him so many times per day lol, and I won't be afraid anymore that it leaves my garden. Plus, I will be able to engrave its name on it! :)
So, you're advising against using it to track kids because Apple don't want to make any claims that it could be used for that? I can understand why Apple advise against it but I can't understand why you advise against it. It's definitely better than nothing if your child gets lost.
I wonder if Apple could even do it? I was sitting here needing to replace my AW4 because of battery issues and my mind skipped to making it a dog tracker. Then I thought A) I’m already having battery issues and B) to the point, I would have 2 watches on my line at full price. The cell companies would never allow something for free even if it saved lives.
this is a good temporary tracking device. I bought the tile but the big disadvantage to apply airtag is that No people will have iphones that will emit the signal to mine unless airtag and they're just about the same price
If your pet gets out and it DOESN’T have an AirTag attached, you aren’t going to get a position report. If it gets out and it DOES have an AirTag attached, you have a reasonable chance of getting a position report if it wanders by someone with an iPhone. Granted, there is no guarantee, and it’s not as good as a GPS/cellular collar, but it’s better than nothing. I see no downside to attaching an AirTag to a pet and at least the potential for recovering your pet. So the admonition “Don’t put an AirTag on a pet” is wrong. The proper warning is “Don’t rely on an AirTag to track a pet or a child.”
Think about it- if Apple claimed that AirTags are intended for lost kids, and a kid gets lost, they get sued. For millions possibly. So it makes sense for them to claim AirTags are not for this purpose, especially in our overly litigious society 🙄
No moron will depend on this to track their children. BUT, I have 8 & they they wear one under their shirt on a long chain. If someone one grabbed one of my kids I have way better odds of finding them then with other pricey, more obvious kid finder watches, etc.
I don’t think anyone can blame Apple for them not finding their pet or kid. On the contrary I think Airtag is a great way in terms of the options we have now. It is a tool you can rely on to help you find your pet or kid, based on the tech
No. You can’t find your dog or kid unless they are basically in the same room. It has no usable range. If your dog even leaves your yard, you’re screwed pretty quick. Someone steals your purse...? By the time you react the thief could be out of range. Lost mode is entirely dependent on having other Apple users - who FIND your item and then want to help you. Very disappointed.
For what it’s worth, the halo tag is ridiculously hit or miss. I used to get alerts from the app that my dog was out when she was asleep on the couch with me. Conversely the one time she had it on her and got loose, the app said she was in my back yard. I returned it and left a pretty harsh review.
I will get one for my dog. He is fast and strong, has broken out of his leash to try to kill a squirrel so its better than nothing. And I do live in a large metropolitan area so feel pretty confident he would never been too far from someone with an apple device.
I think what everybody wanted ask is that if you put an airtag to your kids is it gonna make a sound after a while? Because it’s basically traveling together with someone.
To detect that an AirTag is tracking you you must have an iPhone, so for a little kid who has no phone or Apple Watch it’s actually not that bad to put an AirTag on them, but like only for occasions like in the middle of bid crowds, where it’s more likely to lose a child.
@@Valibomba partially true. Even if the person being tracked doesn’t have an iPhone- the airtag will beep - but I think the beep only happens after 3 days
I was under the impression that an AirTag when separated from the owner's device, would notify nearby iPhones if the AirTag continues to remain around a stranger's iPhone to prevent unauthorized tracking. So for example, I leave an AirTag in an Uber, the driver's iPhone would notify them that there's an unauthorized AirTag 'tagging' along with them. Is that not the case?
Andy, thanks for your informative video. We do plan on trying Apple’s new Airtag out on our indoor-outdoor pet. We live in a populated area just outside of Philadelphia. Hopefully, tracking down our pet before we lock up at night will be a lot easier.
Although I’m 11 I was planning on talking with my parents to get a air tag for my dog but I came to the sense that not only it would be hard to track but also they play a lot it may get broke or really dirty or something to happen to it like the dog chewing on it so nvm about my plan
Bluetooth distance is supposed to do 100 yds. These AirTag reviews haven't done the distance test like Tile review has. Come on guys that's important. What is the distance of the signal?
Yes, please ! Can someone answer that ? Very important question for people living in the country with a couple of neighbors around but not a crowded city, and who wants to make sure their cats are around ;)
With 5 dogs, sometimes I just need to see where in the house or yard my dogs are (small yard). This does seem perfect for that. As well as the fact that it CAN give off info if dog gets away to someone that finds them! Thanks for the info!
Ok, so it doesn't mean you shouldn't use it in those cases. It only means it may not work. It's better to have a slight chance of finding your kid that none at all.
I used to work for Verizon and a hunter would buy gizmo watches for his dogs attach them to their vests and he’d have gps and a way to tell them to come back without yelling look into it they have lte and you can listen to what the dogs listening to without making a call cuz they were meant for kids in case they were abducted
It’s $30. Why not put it on your dog. There’s a higher chance of my dog sniffing someone’s house where their pet uses the bathroom and that persons iPhone to send me a location. There’s literally nothing to lose. GPS collars are hundreds of dollars and require a subscription and they only work 80% of the time. This is a bad review
That’s actually creepy af to say not to use it on a child, 99.99 percent of people ain’t trying to blame Apple if it don’t work and it’s pretty obvious more people like in populated areas then the middle of no where. Why tf wouldn’t you want to have that extra protection that will increase your chance of finding your child? You sound as if your involved in a child trafficking ring and you don’t like your victims to be caught. Your advice is horrible and your video should be titled “Apple doesn’t take responsibility if the tracker doesn’t track” . Your a pos for telling parents to not take extra caution for their children.
Are you sure that there is no possibility that an AirTag cannot send its location without relying on Bluetooth and other iPhone devices? Without much relying on precision finding within the Bluetooth range, isn't it pointless to get one of these? For example, you live in the countryside with very few people who use iPhone devices? Some people don't take the precision finding a big deal, but the point is as least we would know its location on the map. Please, someone, clear these confusions.
Im sorry but this guys outlook is ridiculous! Nobody is assuming Apple is claiming any responsibility for tracking your dog and children! Imagine the power for $30 to have a millionth of a chance to get a location on your pet or child! even a hint, a breadcrumb of information the power in that for the cost is insane! What if your in a theme park and the kid goes missing or if you dog gets of leash in your neighborhood you know right around a bunch of people with Iphones! You have nothing to lose and the upside is tremendous
Useless device. I live in a City where almost everyone has an iPhone. Put an Airtag on my cat's collar. The tag never gets picked up by other people's cell phones. Apple help said it only works if people are connected to the internet. Well in a major city I would think many phones are connected to internet. Not one ping. Cannot find my cat at all.
Who cares whether Apple is worried about liability? If it works for you use it. Sure you probably can’t successfully sue apple if your kid disappears But if there’s a possibility that it could help you in an emergency do it.
So you are saying that you shouldn't use it at all for pet tracking in the country because there are not as many iPhones around. That has to be the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard. I will use anything that may help me track my Dog. If even if it gets pinged once, that is one more ping that I have over not using it at all. Think about what you are saying. I expect better from this channel, but maybe I shouldn't.
Yea if my two year old ever goes missing or god forbid is taken, I rather have SOME hope of that airtag connecting to an iphone and at least giving me and the cops a place to start.
This device is nonsense i bought it thinking will be useful tracking my cat but no my cats is nowhere to be found :( just lost him til now can't find him
Like you said, downside is it works on bluetooth, but I am considering maybe getting a couple for our cats. Even though they’re chipped (get your pets chipped people) they do go outside and it would give me a bit more piece of mind. Now to get a collar on them 😂🤣
we had a scare yesterday where we thought our indoor cat got outside and we drove around our neighborhood just to find him hiding inside. definitely getting one for both my cats.
So I have a little old chihuahua that doesn’t chew anything, not even toys. So far all I can find is don’t put one on the dog cause they will eat it. Beyond that, it’s safe right? She still has her little name tag with my cell number and all that too. I’m hoping someone’s in the same spot and can verify.
If you have an iPhone 11 or newer it should be much better. If you have an older iPhone, it’ll be about the same, but with more chance to find your stuff if it’s near other people, and if nothing else, the fact that there’s no subscription fee
I think it’s totally fine using it for a toddler, especially when in a busy location, such as a shopping mall, theme park, play centre, etc. Just slip in their pocket, and then you’ll have peace of mind when they try n wonder off.
🤦♀️ you sound like the creeper. And it works in a certain range. Normally if a person kidnaps a child they’re going to take them away very far. The AirTag in the situation would not work because it’ only works with Bluetooth just like when you have AirPods ...once you step away far from your phone (like down the street) eventually the AirPods stop working because you have to be closer back to your phone.
@@The1707regina as I understand it, it doesn’t need to be near your own device to enable you to track and find - it uses everyone else’s iPhones to anonymously send you location information for the airbag, so technically it would be an excellent tracker to offer parents peace of mind if their children are going into town or city with their friends or they get separated from parents in town/city.

So for example, I leave an AirTag in an Uber, the driver's iPhone would notify them that there's an unauthorized AirTag 'tagging' along with them. Is that not the case?
Yes, that is the Case
Andy, thanks for your informative video. We do plan on trying Apple’s new Airtag out on our indoor-outdoor pet. We live in a populated area just outside of Philadelphia. Hopefully, tracking down our pet before we lock up at night will be a lot easier.
Although I’m 11 I was planning on talking with my parents to get a air tag for my dog but I came to the sense that not only it would be hard to track but also they play a lot it may get broke or really dirty or something to happen to it like the dog chewing on it so nvm about my plan
Bluetooth distance is supposed to do 100 yds. These AirTag reviews haven't done the distance test like Tile review has. Come on guys that's important. What is the distance of the signal?
Yes, please ! Can someone answer that ? Very important question for people living in the country with a couple of neighbors around but not a crowded city, and who wants to make sure their cats are around ;)
I loved that when the intro ended you were still vibing to the intro by tapping the table
With 5 dogs, sometimes I just need to see where in the house or yard my dogs are (small yard). This does seem perfect for that. As well as the fact that it CAN give off info if dog gets away to someone that finds them! Thanks for the info!
Ok, so it doesn't mean you shouldn't use it in those cases. It only means it may not work. It's better to have a slight chance of finding your kid that none at all.
I used to work for Verizon and a hunter would buy gizmo watches for his dogs attach them to their vests and he’d have gps and a way to tell them to come back without yelling look into it they have lte and you can listen to what the dogs listening to without making a call cuz they were meant for kids in case they were abducted
It’s $30. Why not put it on your dog. There’s a higher chance of my dog sniffing someone’s house where their pet uses the bathroom and that persons iPhone to send me a location. There’s literally nothing to lose. GPS collars are hundreds of dollars and require a subscription and they only work 80% of the time. This is a bad review
That’s actually creepy af to say not to use it on a child, 99.99 percent of people ain’t trying to blame Apple if it don’t work and it’s pretty obvious more people like in populated areas then the middle of no where. Why tf wouldn’t you want to have that extra protection that will increase your chance of finding your child? You sound as if your involved in a child trafficking ring and you don’t like your victims to be caught. Your advice is horrible and your video should be titled “Apple doesn’t take responsibility if the tracker doesn’t track” . Your a pos for telling parents to not take extra caution for their children.
What if I strap my dogs cellphone to the body of the dog as well therefore it’s never out of Bluetooth range?? Lol
I am actually disappointed, since there was no puppy in the video, as it is on the thumbnail.
Are you sure that there is no possibility that an AirTag cannot send its location without relying on Bluetooth and other iPhone devices? Without much relying on precision finding within the Bluetooth range, isn't it pointless to get one of these? For example, you live in the countryside with very few people who use iPhone devices? Some people don't take the precision finding a big deal, but the point is as least we would know its location on the map. Please, someone, clear these confusions.
Im sorry but this guys outlook is ridiculous! Nobody is assuming Apple is claiming any responsibility for tracking your dog and children! Imagine the power for $30 to have a millionth of a chance to get a location on your pet or child! even a hint, a breadcrumb of information the power in that for the cost is insane! What if your in a theme park and the kid goes missing or if you dog gets of leash in your neighborhood you know right around a bunch of people with Iphones! You have nothing to lose and the upside is tremendous
Going to use it on my kids for when we go to amusement parks of some sort
That’s a great idea
Useless device. I live in a City where almost everyone has an iPhone. Put an Airtag on my cat's collar. The tag never gets picked up by other people's cell phones. Apple help said it only works if people are connected to the internet. Well in a major city I would think many phones are connected to internet. Not one ping. Cannot find my cat at all.
its limited sure but its better then nothing and a dedicated gps would be expensive with a subscription not to mention shit battery life
Who cares whether Apple is worried about liability? If it works for you use it. Sure you probably can’t successfully sue apple if your kid disappears But if there’s a possibility that it could help you in an emergency do it.
So you are saying that you shouldn't use it at all for pet tracking in the country because there are not as many iPhones around. That has to be the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard. I will use anything that may help me track my Dog. If even if it gets pinged once, that is one more ping that I have over not using it at all. Think about what you are saying. I expect better from this channel, but maybe I shouldn't.
Good rationale provided. Use case based on location. Can't hurt in those populated areas.
I’m putter it on my dog but for a child it’s a bit different. Maybe in a backpack or on a toy would be better
Yea if my two year old ever goes missing or god forbid is taken, I rather have SOME hope of that airtag connecting to an iphone and at least giving me and the cops a place to start.
Is not about can or cannot, is just about increase the possibility. When we do something, we not expect 100% anyway
so dont do it cuz theres a chance that it will not work. not taking the chance is better, right, right.
Just stick a second hand Apple iPhone📱 in your kids pocket or bag then can track through iCloud too easy 😸🌟💡
This device is nonsense i bought it thinking will be useful tracking my cat but no my cats is nowhere to be found :( just lost him til now can't find him
I’m sewing a little pocket in my autistic child’s clothing for an AirTag...I’ll take my chances
Here’s a good analogy: After a home invasion: “Thank God we don’t have guns!”….
They really need to make it so that it’s just like tracking your iPhone when your iPhone is lost. Someone has to come up with a solution for that
Would an iPad with Bluetooth and 4/5G network report back AirTag location?
It’s obviously better than nothing! At least there’s a chance of it getting within range of a person with another iPhone. Geeesh
Like you said, downside is it works on bluetooth, but I am considering maybe getting a couple for our cats. Even though they’re chipped (get your pets chipped people) they do go outside and it would give me a bit more piece of mind. Now to get a collar on them 😂🤣
How did it work out? I’m going to try this but I don’t think my cat will appreciate the collar part! Lol
we had a scare yesterday where we thought our indoor cat got outside and we drove around our neighborhood just to find him hiding inside. definitely getting one for both my cats.
Can i use it for my cat because he leaves the house and to the street sometimes
So you also can’t rely on it for anything if it’s taken out of Bluetooth area?????? What’s the point then?
As long as another iphone goes by the airtag it will still report location and I live in Ukraine and everyone has an iphone
Are you telling are you telling me this thing only works within 30 feet of your phone how pointless is that
Will AirTags work on my father? He hasn't come back since he left for that "grocery" store a few years back.
As long as you find him to put it on him first 😔
So I have a little old chihuahua that doesn’t chew anything, not even toys. So far all I can find is don’t put one on the dog cause they will eat it.
Beyond that, it’s safe right? She still has her little name tag with my cell number and all that too. I’m hoping someone’s in the same spot and can verify.
They don’t eat air tags when it’s meant to be put on collars
I want a gps in such a device,
not someThing that only allows you to rangefind it,
Going to put an AirTag on my sanity
wish i knew this before i bought airtags for my cats. Now I realize it's useless
Does the “finder” have to have Blue Tooth turned on their phone to transmit to your phone
I guess one solution is to stick an old iPhone and battery pack on the dog’s collar
ppl use airtags to track cars and then steal them and other evil deeds
I want to use it to track my cat. Already have a tile. Interested to see if it works better
If you have an iPhone 11 or newer it should be much better.
If you have an older iPhone, it’ll be about the same, but with more chance to find your stuff if it’s near other people, and if nothing else, the fact that there’s no subscription fee
What range does the tile work on? I'm wondering if I can see whereabouts my cat is if she's across the road or out the back for example?
Apple should have AirTags sync with the Helium Network.
less talky more actual images of what it looks like in the app and useage.
What about cars?
Does it only send location via someone else’s iPhone when the airtag is in Lost Mode?
I think it’s totally fine using it for a toddler, especially when in a busy location, such as a shopping mall, theme park, play centre, etc.
Just slip in their pocket, and then you’ll have peace of mind when they try n wonder off.
That wouldn’t work as it could easily fall out of the toddlers pocket
I was thinking hide one in my kids shoe or bag etc in case some creeper tried to kidnap!
🤦♀️ you sound like the creeper. And it works in a certain range. Normally if a person kidnaps a child they’re going to take them away very far. The AirTag in the situation would not work because it’ only works with Bluetooth just like when you have AirPods ...once you step away far from your phone (like down the street) eventually the AirPods stop working because you have to be closer back to your phone.
@@The1707regina I don’t sound like a creeper! But thanks for the rest of the info 👍
@@The1707regina as I understand it, it doesn’t need to be near your own device to enable you to track and find - it uses everyone else’s iPhones to anonymously send you location information for the airbag, so technically it would be an excellent tracker to offer parents peace of mind if their children are going into town or city with their friends or they get separated from parents in town/city.
@@slawsonscot that’s how I understand it also. It uses a “mesh network” with iPhones to continuously track the tag.
The main thing I am going to use AirTags is for my Hanger and Airplane Key. All so for my Car Keys so I do have two on order.
so wtf is the point of a air tag if it doesn’t work if it leaves?????
Apple just needs to get with the program and make a GPS device. We currently use the Fi GPS collar for our dogs and it works great 👍!
Cheap Apple Watch with cellular?
