There is almost a billion devices in the Find My network.
Being in range of a Find My network device is far more likely than you may initially assume. You could still use an AirTag as a dog tracker, to Apple's dismayĪirtag Review Hero (Image credit: Future/ iMore)Īgain, Apple has distinctly said that they don't encourage it, but if you do, just hope that your pet gets into range of an Apple device in the Find My network so that its location can be tracked down. These are variables Apple can't control, and the company does not want to be implicated in a pet-related tragedy. There would be no way to track them with an AirTag since it actually isn't on them, and it's suddenly too late. Or perhaps your dog or cat somehow got the AirTag loop attachment off them and made an escape. In a case like this, someone may get mad that they couldn't find their dog with the AirTag before it got hit and may try to blame and sue Apple by claiming that the AirTag did not work in line with a promoted feature. As sad as it is, many pets may get seriously hurt by a passing car, or simply lost for good. It can't stop you, but by actively NOT promoting it as a feature, the responsibility returns to the dog owner.įor example, if you put an AirTag on your dog and they accidentally escape from your garden, anything can happen from that point on. By saying that an AirTag should not be used for this scenario specifically, Apple is no longer liable for anything that may happen while you use an AirTag to track pets. It may be fair to assume that Apple discourages using AirTags on pets because they do not want to be held liable if anything unfortunate happens.
