When AirTags first came out, it made sense to me what it could be used for and how it works. But with the anti-stalking features newly added, I no longer fully understand how AirTags now work. I am thinking of whether the following situation is an appropriate use, or perhaps put another way, a way to use it without the AirTag announcing itself. Thoughts? Comments?
In a few months, we will be travelling to Europe for just about 2 weeks. We'll be bringing along an iPad Pro which we intend to keep in the hotel we stay in. During the day when we are not in the hotel, the iPad will be placed inside a bag which we plan to have an AirTag in it. The bag will be padlocked. Unfortunately, the hotel does not offer safes.
Question: say if housekeeping comes into the room and the person has their own iPhone, will the AirTag start beeping after a while if the person is still in the room because of the anti-stalking feature? I wouldn't want that because I don't necessarily want to alert housekeeping that we have AirTags, which itself could signal "hey, there's something important here!" and which could even further incentivize them from searching/peeking.
My intention with that AirTag is specifically so that if the bag gets stolen, we may be able to trace it.
