Apple Tries to Limit Offensive AirTag Engravings... With Mixed Results

[Apple_Robert]

I think if Apple is going to offer the current options, they shouldn’t try and limit the expression of individuals. After all, the engraving is personalized.

Why would they include a happy poop emoji if they won't let us use it creatively?

I don't see the point, Apple.

What if a stalker put the airtag inside an android user’s bag? How are going to be notify?

Edit : I just read android device could disable them too via nfc.

You know you've found an American when they start talking about free speech without understanding that a private company not providing the specific option that you want doesn't come under free speach. But as long as we've got those freedumbs.

Your assumption is wrong in every way.

Apple's in-house Karen Division headed up by several moms said it is forbidden.

Anyway. I'd be more interested in the obvious oversights in emojis here. Why is the key emoji not there? Why not a house? and a car? so I can combine emoji into "Car Key" and "House Key" and where is the backpack emoji? It doesn't seem very well through through.

Can you tell us more ways to uncover Americans? What a fascinating, if somewhat bigoted, exercise! Such fun.

The number 69 is now considered offensive? Dear God...

Total BS... BS is allowed by the way

This is 🐴💩. With all the animal emoji, I wonder how many will be using these to find their cat.

69 works. Confusing image to use in the article, but I just tried and it lets you use 69.

What about my favorite emoji, man in business suit levitating?

I'll have to only buy 68 then. Damn you apple!

A horse emoji then a "+" then the poo emoji works... Bit of a workaround but if someone is that desperate for that on their AirTag...

What about Apple makes you think they'd engrave a sexual position reference.

 

[herok]

I'm wondering why... after all, the owner him/herself will be exposed to the engraving. It's not like someone is going to pull out their AirTag and show it to someone as an insult.

If anything, that'd be much much easier using a large screen on, say, a new iPad Liquid Retina XDR.

😂 I had a nice one planned for my wife

I mean... how do you keep losing your wife? 😛

Also stupid That they didn’t add the car emoji yet you can use the poop emoji. In what situation do you ever find yourself to look for your 💩

 

[qoop]

Just use Welsh swearwords.

 

[NightFox]

All those budding Oscar Wildes denied an outlet for their rapier wit!

69 is also just a number. Maybe someone was born in 1969 and wants to put it.

But regardless, 69 does in fact work for engraving.

Problem solved '🐴💩'

When I need to get my 💩 together?

What makes you think they should care?

When you swallow an AirTag and wanna track its journey through your guts and then through the sewage system.
