I would almost wager that some of these people have seen a video or tictok about how to change their privacy setting (or stop being tracked) and changed/updated them without realising that it will affect services like this?… maybe…

Weird, I see a lot of people that have the same problem, but personally mine are spot on.

I turned that off. I just drove cross country and it kept telling me I left my MacBook and Airpods on the highway. First time I saw it I kinda panicked for a second, but after the TENTH TIME? Nope.

That’s actually a Symbiote waiting to latch onto your hand dude.

Adding to this comment:

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Find My (ON).

The way System Services work is still a bit of a puzzle and can make things to stop working or work less reliably even if the toggle is enabled within another setting (i.e. Optimized Battery Charging).

Also, inside System Service make sure to have “Significant Locations” enabled. I don’t know why but having it enabled has made some stuff like alerts, notifications and location more reliable.

I’m shocked at many people don’t backup to iCloud and then wonder why stuff isn’t on their new phone or disappear when they do a reset.

I guess tshoot steps I would do is

1. Make sure Find My Feature is ON and location is allowed for the app with precise location enabled
2. Double check my privacy location settings; find my iphone should be enabled
3. Make sure bluetooth is ON(BLUE) or at least semi-on(Grey). Do not completely disable it in settings
4. Worse case, I would forget and re-pair my devices

Let me guess, you didn’t backup to iCloud?

Were they backed up to iCloud?

Don’t love the album, but that’s one of my all-time favorite album covers.

Long press the contact and select “suggest less”.

This feature was spot on perfect when they first released it a couple years ago. Now, it’s useless and crappy. I get these same messages about my iPad and AirPods when they’re definitely within reach.

Tried all of that but thanks for the article.

Already tried that.

Already tried that.

Maybe you have a vpn installed on the phone which makes the phone be in another location ?

Pro Tip: Hot Glue Stick + Lighter. Melt the end and apply to metal shavings/dust/chips stick to magnets 🧲.

And that my friend is why I got a Google phone

I just hate how they removed volume controls with this update. It makes changing the volume slightly less convenient at times, and I don’t see why they felt the need to remove it.

You can turn this type of notification off in the watch app. I recently turned off all of my Watch notifications because they just drive me crazy. I don’t need to know every time I get an email.

I get these all the time with my AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd gen. Happens when i'm driving, i'll get a time sensitive alert that i left them on the highway 20 minutes back at the petrol station i stopped at. It's actually a shame because more and more i'm completely ignoring these alerts because i get them so often for my AirPods, and every so often I see them for my MacBook and AirTags as well.

If i'm at a point where these alerts are getting subconsciously ignored, then what's the point of even using the feature? May as well switch it off completely.
