I really like the left behind feature too, it should have been there in the first place.

Great news.

They haven’t said but it seems like it! Apple Watch 6 has ultra wide band! Would be so cool!

I am very happy about the new future. The following thread may be of interest.

You Left Your Phone Behind

Unintentionally found a new iOS feature today. Went out to eat, and after eating paid and left. Was pulling out of the parking lot when my Apple Watch alerted me that I left my phone behind. I turned the car back around and retrieved it. Very cool feature!

Thanks for the thread, been trying to find someone with WatchOS developer beta, to ask them if precision find works with series 6 and AirTags. (I'm assuming he's on the beta if that feature worked)

Would be really great if Apple Watch could not only help finding AirTags but would also send AirTag locations to FindMy network.
Usecase: Running with AW Cellular without my iPhone with me. Got my house keys with AirTag with me and in case of losing them I could see last location.
Or other way round: could help others finding their AirTags.

Yes, the watch has to be on that beta for it to work.

Excellent point. That use case is applicable to me as well most times.

Thanks. A friend of mine lost his keys while running. Noticed it when coming home. Walked all 15km searching for them, no chance. Was a terrible mess, new lock, informing insurance, etc.
Those key pockets in running wear are sometimes dangerously built.

I usually run with my Nathan Vest. I hate having anything in pockets most times, unless I can zipper. And even then it needs to be very small and not bounce around.

I can't see them not making the Find My app for AW full featured. I think they should make it for TVOS and CarPlay as well. The more devices reporting location, the more accurate the network will be.
