Or at least it has the potential to be used that way. Nope. I can see my devices, they can see theirs. No one can see each other’s unless you temporarily share the location which the young fella does sometimes if he is mountain biking on his own in the middle of nowhere.

FWIW I don’t think it’s creepy. I do think it’s very controlling. Never mind. Once you and yours are vaccinated Bill Gates will be able to check your locations, but not those of your possessions, all the time. Remember, AdeY-B can tab and track you everywhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t. if he is out on a long ride and feels more comfortable that I can see where he is should he happen to come off or have a mechanical issue then what’s the harm? It is using completely unintrusive tech to make peoples lives easier. In what way is that controlling? The Mrs would like to know where we all are at all time as apparently lots of her friends do that. Easily turned on but we haven’t because I think that is creepy. Loads of people have tracking turned on on their kids phones. We don’t. This would be exactly the same and I bet plenty posting on here have the ability to find their partners or kids phones if needed Edited June 16, 2021 by trmpton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the price of the Tiles since they will probably be lost for good too. Not enough people are using the Tile network for it to be useful except around the home IMO. Or to tell you where you were when your Tile tracked thing and your phone were last withing range of each other. AirTags by contrast work very well. Because everyone else's iPhone tracks them.

Then tell me if your any of your family have the ability to locate your own phone if you misplace it. Because it is exactly the same thing, and to be honest anyone who doesnt have that turned on is very much in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But spying on members of my own family is a totally different matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
