Or were you driving a U-Haul? Mine didn’t have one but did have a warning and a disclaimer I had to sign

Here’s a question no one is asking though, were you driving with someone else? If your passenger had an AirTag in their purse or backpack, you would also be notified.

I got one such notification driving my mom's dogs to the vet.

Then I remembered they both wear AirTags around their collars.

I have one in my wallet but my family has never been notified. Is it because they’re in my contacts or something?

This! We have one in our stroller for Disney and my friend got the notification while driving to Disney with us and was confused.

I’ve never gotten one when my wife was with me and her wallet too. There must be some intelligence to know the “owner” is close enough that it doesn’t alert too.

It’s not supposed to give notifications if it’s nearby the owner. Like I have one in my wallet/car but it doesn’t notify people I’m with because I have my phone.

No it wouldn’t…

As long as the owner is nearby with their Bluetooth enabled phone, it updates their app and that is it.

If the owner is not around, it will update via other people’s Bluetooth phones and if it updates via someone else’s phone too much, they get notified.

Is it not supposed to notify others only if the owner of the AirTag isn't around ? I think so

it never detected near AirTag for my passengers.

If the passenger had one then presumably they also had their phone with them which would not trigger this alarm. I have one on my cat and anytime i am away for more than 24hrs it triggers warnings on my partner’s device

And occasionally AirPods with Find My integration will still occasionally false positive the owner or a travel companion
