>>There is something to be said about these new technologies, like OS or Android. I have an iPhone. One of my daughters routinely asks me to take her dog for a day or two (when a worker(s) are coming to her house; the dog is big and people are afraid). I picked her dog yesterday afternoon. And I noticed that whenever I go outside, I get an AirTag notification on my iPhone. The notification tells me that I can find the AirTag and show "it" on the map. This morning I realized that my daughter bought this AirTag and put it on the dog's collar. So, if the dog runs away, she can find her. I never let the dog off leash; so it is probably not necessary for me. But my daughter does leave the dog off leash often; so it makes sense to her.
>>What was surprising is that iPhone "sensed" the presence of the AirTag without me installing anything or turning any setting. I read about it now on the AirTag site. I think this is a cool device which probably won't be developed for older technologies.

Thanks for the warning.
