How to Disable an Unknown AirTag Found Moving With You to Prevent Being Tracked

It doesn’t make a sound by itself. You have to have an iPhone which has to alert you that you are being tracked. And if you can’t find it in your bag you can make it beep to find it easier.
But that isn’t what Apple is saying. The airtag will potentially interact with the millions and millions of iPhones out there and send its location back to you. This is not a tile.
What if I let someone borrow my keys and it’s with them all day... will the air tag in the keys send them a text and start making noise the whole day? Or the person can turn it off.
They will just mute the alarm they are getting on their own device. The AirTag still keeps working.
To paraphrase Clark Griswold, bend over and lets find out.
Does she come home and bitch you out? If not then who cares?
It does make a sound by itself:
An AirTag that has been separated from its owner for a long period of time will make an audible noise when it’s moved, as part of a privacy feature to let you know there’s a tag present.
From sixcolors.com
The won’t get an alarm on their device as those alarms only happen if the airtag is moving with someone and their owner isn’t there.
In the situation described, the owner is there and the tag isn’t moving with the other people, so no alarm.
This is not what Apple sais on its site. It states you have to actively make it beep if you have an unknown AirTag in your vicinity and can’t find it.
The thing is if one puts it on or in a back pack and said item gets stolen the thief generally dosent hang on to those items for long- they rummage through looking for valuables and toss the bag- that is unless its a Louis Vuitton or Coach for example then they might keep said bag. Most thieves know that when they swipe an iPhone the first thing they do is shut it off- just ask anyone who has had a phone taken its unable to be found about the moment you notice its gone. This will be another thing they will look for dispose of as fast as possible.
I haven’t watched the event yet. Are these rechargeable or are they coin cell???
No, those options only appear if an airtag is travelling with you and the owner isn’t there.
If you carry someone’s bag for a while when they aren’t there then you would be able to do so.
I wonder if the original owner can still see AirTag's location after it has been disabled by someone else
Why don't you just call your wife that she forgot her purse at home at the first beep and has she disable the sound?
I thought to use it as a car tracker. If car gets stolen I can share the location with the police. But this kind of kills this purpose.
