I just don't understand how more people don't complain about this all the time. My wife has an apple tracker on her keys and I get a notification about an unknown tracker travelling with me on my phone every time we go anywhere. Why isn't there an "I know this tracker, leave me the fuck alone" option anywhere???

Yeah, seems like we should be able to acknowledge known trackers, or something. Or be able to enroll multiple phones or other devices (of multiple OSes) as owners, so if the keys move with your phone instead of hers, that counts as 'not being separated from the owner', rather than throwing another BS alert.

I'd assume because they're using the share feature: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/share-an-airtag-iph41...

You can also turn them off altogether in Settings > Notifications > Tracking Notifications.

I should have mentioned - I'm on android, she's an iPhone user. Afaik there is no way to do this without also having an iPhone.

That shouldn't be happening.

The way it should work, is that if the keys are nearby the user that owns them, the tracker shouldn't be giving unknown tracker notifications to other nearby users.

> nearby the user

You mean nearby the user's phone.. nowadays the 2 are almost interchangeable..

Maybe the wife doesn't take her phone when they go somewhere (yeah, implausible, but, maybe). Or she has several phones..
