Pretty sure you get the option after dismissing the prompt a handful of times to no longer get notifications for that specific object.

We have two AirTags on our dog, and while we had that prompt at first that is no longer the case.

The article has a screenshot that literally shows it saying "do not notify me about this airtag" lol.

The whole thing is a stupid nothing article.

You can only suppress it for 24 hours. It drives me mad as every time I have my son in the car it tells Me someone is tracking me.

I believe if they are part of your family sharing plan you can disable it but my phone is a work phone so I can’t create a family sharing plan and add them. It’s super annoying because you cannot dismiss the alert unless you click on it and let it open the app and show you the map.

I’m not following. Does your son have an AirTag on him that isn’t his? If it’s his and tied to his Apple ID it shouldn’t notify you at all as long as he’s in the vicinity.

If it’s not his then that’s like the exact thing Apple says you cannot use them for.

Not related to AirTags actually but the find my network also alerts you to AirPods that are travelling with you but aren’t registered to you or your family sharing plan. So whenever they get in the car with their AirPods I get the same stupid alerts, every damn time.

Weird. I’ve never had an issue with being notified about AirPods that aren’t mine. And I have buddies in my car with their AirPods all the time.

I do get the “AirPods left behind” notification though when I leave them at home even though I have it set up as an exempted place.

I sometimes get the notifications from my fiancés AirPod pros, we think it’s kinda funny since it usually happens on date nights when we’ve been together all day. She’s also part of my family plan

How does that work when people get on a bus or a plane? Does everyone get everyone else's alerts because they're all traveling together stalking each other now?

I haven’t had it on a plane, bus or train come to think of it. Only ever in the car - Google seems to be able to easily tell if I am in a bus / train or car so perhaps apple can too and only raises the alert if you’re in a car - which makes sense.

Look who can't read and only look at pictures.

>>There is a way to pause tracking notifications for that specific AirTag, but it only lasts for 24 hours.

My son’s AirPods set off that notification. I’ve always selected to not be notified about it indefinitely and I still get the alerts

That only disables the notifications for 24 hours — you cannot permanently ignore warnings for an AirTag not registered to your ID

No. You can’t do that. Must farm karma and finish new dramatic article by deadline.

Why do you have two on one dog?

Two owners, find my doesn’t allow sharing. Also ends up being a backup.
