Great video - I have a tag in my Everyday Carry and I think the moral of the story is for $30 when something happens like someone walks off with your bag (putting it nicely) or your puppy goes missing - would you want something that improves your chances to locate them? I say yes every time. I like the words at the end about false sense of security because that is so true
There have been a ton of comments saying that AirTags are reliant on other iPhones to track accurately. Yes that is true. I’d like to point out that Destiny (the beautiful lady that had my Dog with her) had her iPhone with her as well when doing BOTH tests. I’d also like to point out that Brooklyn Bridge Park is a heavy traffic area with people. So I’d assume there were a lot of other iPhones in the general area as well. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong in the 2nd test. Which is why I assumed the heat may have been a factor. But a “lack of an iPhone” is definitely not the reason for the failure in my second test. Appreciate y’all ✌🏾
@@ddames oh okay, Just watched this video "AirTag Stalking Warning Test - Alert when followed by unknown AirTag“ a swedish guy really testing it, and finding out how it works, you should watch it :)
Great video thanks. I’ve been debating about getting one to put on our dogs. I think the reason it didn’t work out in the open field is that it relies on Nearfield Bluetooth and other people that are broadcasting on Bluetooth to help locate. In the city you’re running into a lot more Bluetooth fields/broadcasts then it would be out in the park. Just a thought.
My AirTags are utterly useless. Always says “poor signal try moving to another location.” And it’s right in front of me. It’s the worst thing a product can be: unreliable. Nice video well done!
I have a Samsung SmartTag and it's really not precise, my cat just got rescued from a 111ft cliff (2 firefighter trucks lol), i could locate him and he couldn't get down. But it took a while and only when I was close enough and could make it ring and hear it. Was wondering if an AirTag would be more precise...
My hubby just mentioned getting a tag for our new pup coming soon, immediatly came to youtube & yours was 1st video I saw & clicked.... THANK YOU!!!! And that pup of yours is cute as heck! 😘
I’ve realized you would need to completely tear one (or three) apart (someone on here did it) in order to hack it, but I’d love to have mine tell people that my dog is diabetic. He needs his shots every 12 hours and he can’t eat high carb foods. :(
That’s weird but I guess it’s better than having nothing. I also wanna say this, December I took a seasonal job and I parked at a sketchy location everyday so I bought an AirTag for my car. Every time I checked the location showed up and updated every 5-10 minutes(this was in a parking lot and I would leave that area)
I feel like it failed at park because of not many iPhones around to pick up the signal. But in the city on the streets there's lots of devices to help pick up the location. Not because there's no streets. If the park was packed where she was walking then that would be a different story but that I don't know
I think the reason you had a better time in the streets then in the park is because the airbag is dependent on how many iPhones are around. I’m sure there are far more iPhones closer together in the streets then in park where people are more spread out. Just my opinion.
Definitely a possibility for sure and a good point. Since Destiny had an iPhone while she had my dog I thought something would at least be anchoring the navigation. Still a great tracker nevertheless
Apple has never advertised them as pet trackers (unlike Samsung), they even said in an interview that they are meant to track lost items first and foremost, not people or pets
What’s your point? People wanted to know if they could use it on a pet so I made a video on it. Apple doesn’t advertise their iPhones to go in water past a certain depth. Is that stopping some reviewers from water testing them in the ocean?
Bruh first thing I thought when I found out about AirTags is that my dog is getting one. Now I’m gonna make a collar with them and get more people to do it to watch me
@@ryan18462 i got an AirTag for my dog too, like it’s a good use case for many people for sure But lets keep in mind that they didn’t advertise them as pet trackers, so that’s not their biggest strength Won’t stop me from putting them in a collar tho lmao
They seem great for finding things may have misplaced around the house, but to trust the goodwill of mankind is entirely different thing- I’m sure Japan is loving them.
Thank you! I was considering using this since my whistle 3 will have to be replaced/upgraded the beginning of the year. Too bad this is much cheaper than a whistle replacement. Video was very helpful
I've been wondering the same thing! We live in a very remote area. Lots of homes but LOTS of trees. And I don't want to have to subscribe to a monthly service either. What did you end up with?
Thanks for the vid, a friend just bought airtags to try track his dog in the rural countryside, it'll never work, he needs a gps tracker, will share too
The information in this video is not correct. The ability to track an AirTag isn't dependent on being in a city area where there are streets or signs, and it's also not based on temperature. What it is dependent on is the AirTags proximity to an iPhone, with good cell service. If the AirTag is in a field or remote location and there are no iPhones near it, you're not going to see any location data in the Find My app. The same is true if the AirTag IS near an iPhone, but that phone doesn't have good cell service. That may have been why your park experiment went the way it did, the phones in the area didn't have good service, which is something you mentioned in the video.
Wasn’t saying that my theories(street signs and temperature) on why the second test didn’t go well were 100% concrete. But I felt it was worth mentioning it. Destiny did have her iPhone on her when she had Rusty though. But like you and I said the smartphone reception could’ve been a contributing factor. Appreciate the comment though - it’s good to get feedback like this to help further inform viewers 🙏🏾
This is like the fifth video that I have watched. it seems that everyone who owns these things bases their performance on nonexistent circumstances. These are Bluetooth devices. They work best when in an area saturated with iPhones and iPads that are not moving. That is how they lock onto the location of the AirTag that could possibly be moving, but of course all performance would be improved if none of these things were in motion. They work off of Bluetooth only. You’re talking about some thing that is working with less than a 60 foot range.
That’s a possibility and a good one too. However I doubt it. The Dog license is metal just like your keys. Don’t see Apple spending thousands on key accessories to go on or be next to metal surfaces if it would cause reliability issues.
I bought an AirTag for my pet and it’s literally useless because it works by bluetooth not gps and sometimes even when my cat is like 4 meters away from me it doesn’t work I really regret wasting money buying it but sometimes it shows me when my cat is close so i think its does 20% of the job
Honestly, Brooklyn borough park doesn’t have great reception to begin with. Most places that are heavily populated. Like Coney Island, World Trade Center, and Times Square where you have horrible resection would be an issue.
great video...some of these rely on another apple phone in the vicinity? and if I lost my dog chances are he isnt around another apple phone or enabled product? maybe if your dog is large enough a person could put a pouch arond him and put anothrer old apple phone in it ,it may work better..track my phone ect?? great video again dude
Appreciate the love thank you 🙏🏽 and Destiny (the beautiful lady) that had my dog during the test owns an iPhone. So there actually was an IPhone in the direct vicinity of the AirTag. Not sure why it couldn’t accurately track though
@@ddames so the airtag uses her phone all the way with the dog , the test must be wih no phone to replicate lost dog and make airtag use anonumus ppl nearby
Good point - but given the conditions of my test and the area I was in I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. If my iPhone couldn’t accurately track the AirTag even though her iPhone was in close proximity with the AirTag - I’d have little faith that the results would be different if she didn’t have her phone. Probably still wouldn’t have found them. But you make a valid point and I’ll try to incorporate that scenario in an updated video
Still doesn’t address its limitations though. If the area is open and ambiguous with little street signs, it doesn’t really matter what the AirTag is connected to. You’ll have difficulty finding it. It’s just good to be aware of it’s limitation. Not a knock against it
But in the end it doesn’t matter. If you can’t find you’re dog that it somewhere stationary then it might even have a problem finding you’re keys. It should be possible to find it in an open area, no matter what it is you’re tracking.
Why would you drag your dog out on a 90deg day to test the AirTag???🤦🏻♀️ Your dog is panting like crazy. The pavement is like 120deg! Just doesn’t make sense
Thanks for warning me! You saved me from adopting a dog incompatible with my AirTag.
Hahahahahahah so funny
Basically 🤣🤣

Put this info on his collar
Thank you so much for this information, I'm trying to figure out what product to get to track our dog. Not sure what I'm going to do.

@@micheller6589 try replacing the dog with a wallet .. it still wouldn’t be found . AirTags are useless
I don’t think Apple “isn’t telling you” what’s important. I think most people don’t understand what bluetooth is, and isn’t. It isn’t GPS.
Use the airtag on your dog as an alternative to chip with a added benefit of the findmy. Do not use this to “track” the dog. 🐶
They seem great for finding things may have misplaced around the house, but to trust the goodwill of mankind is entirely different thing- I’m sure Japan is loving them.
I accidentally left my iPhone on a counter for 20 minutes at a subway in Japan. I came back to find it in a little lost and found basket. Can confirm.

Appreciate thank you! Hope your son has a great bday 🙏🏾
Such a cute doggo🥺❤️ god bless
Thank you 🙏🏾!
This is a great video!!! He literally thought about everything! This will really help me because I am taking my dog to the park a lot
Appreciate it thank you 🙏🏾
@@ddames Appreciate you!
Does it make a noise from the device when you are apart?
It’s not for tracking it for other iPhone users to find the AirTag and notify you. It works off Bluetooth or cellular
Thanks for doing this test.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Thank you! I was considering using this since my whistle 3 will have to be replaced/upgraded the beginning of the year. Too bad this is much cheaper than a whistle replacement. Video was very helpful
Glad I could help 🙏🏾
So apple says...umm... "Airtags not for tracking pets" so.... there's that
*Regardless it’s better to have some idea of where the location of the dog may be, than having No Tech to even get an idea where*
Good insight into troubleshooting and potential setbacks with the product. Appreciate you doing the roadwork.
Great video. Lost my dog in woods and air tag was no help Not sure what to use since I live in an area where a lot of woods behind me 😢 smh
I've been wondering the same thing! We live in a very remote area. Lots of homes but LOTS of trees. And I don't want to have to subscribe to a monthly service either. What did you end up with?

Appreciate it thank you bro 🙏🏾!
Don’t you have to be within a hundred feet or a few hundred of the tag? ….or …..maybe I am thinking of a different brand’s device. ..??

Very good video. Keep it up. Thanks for the info. Just about to put itags on our dogs.
We had the same poor results in our video we made about Airtags and Dogs, they are definitely not as good as a GPS collar like Fi - nice video.
Thank goodness this was just a test I was truly concerned lol
😂😂😂
this video is so helpful!! Thanks so much for both experiments!! Love the camera quality too 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Appreciate the love, glad you enjoyed!
These are great too for people who hike and senior citizens. I know people on the AT who have them on and people they know have the tracker on them.

Great content and demonstration
Yess I love these more dog videos of air tags!
Just discovered. What kinda Lut do you use ? Are you recording in Log ?
Shooting in Canon C-log 3 using a Rec 709 conversion lut from Moment. Then I manually go in and color grade
Is it only because another iPhone was near the airtag? What if no iPhone was near the airtag. Can you still find it?
Nice intro man!
Just a question ….Is having the dog license against the tag causing interference?
That’s a possibility and a good one too. However I doubt it. The Dog license is metal just like your keys. Don’t see Apple spending thousands on key accessories to go on or be next to metal surfaces if it would cause reliability issues.
Nice video bro. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed!
Apple advises against tracking pets with an AirTag.
If you activate “play sound” the AirTag will beep.
thanks!
You are probably in areas disrupting Bluetooth signals..
Definitely a possibility
useful thanks!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
you need iPhones around to rely the location of that airtag
Destiny had her iPhone with her when she had Rusty
I had an AirTag in my wife’s car , she was driving & had her iPhone with her . The AirTag didn’t update for over 90 minutes, absolutely useless.
