Apple have an app that 'droid users can download that provides this functionality.

That is only available in some regions and doesn't run in the background so you have to spend the rest of your life checking. Yay.

Yeah nothing is perfect.

I'm amazed that anyone can stalk people with these things; they can barely keep track of my cats and they are in the house and in bluetooth range 99% of the time.

There was a period of time, just before Christmas or between Christmas and new year - when the system seemed to go a bit nuts. My phone would continually report that I had unknown tag with me (probably belonged to my other half) and the two we had on the cats would beep occasionally, which they seemed to really enjoy. Felt like some sensitivity tuning Apple were doing went completely wrong.

Isn't the whole system based on the tags being close to connected devices, ie iphones? So if your cats are far enough from other people they won't be tracked?

Hope I'm wrong as it means I could track our cats even though we live in the sticks 🧐
