Not sure if its iOS 16 (although i was on beta most of the time) or my airtags, but they are a fortnight old or so, or its the new watch SE or the new iphone 14 pro, but Find My.... is like its drunk.

So i have iphone, watch, airpods pro, 2 airtags on my wallet and keys. in the house i have imac, ipad.

one of the problems eventually fixed itself, the watch not seeing any items in find my.... someone suggested just leaving it open on the watch for ages, and it did sort itself out.


but every day i get random messages, on the way to work i got a message about leaving a device behind. turned out it was my ipad, i don't have that set to be messaging and its never done before. still easily fixed.

then i got a message saying id left an airpod behind, with a location halfway to work. its still in the case, i havent touched it. in fact i get that at least once a day.

at least once a day it tells me ive left my wallet or my keys behind, when they are in my pocket.

the other day, twice, it told me that someone else's airpod was travelling with me, i am guessing it meant my own airpods as they were with me.
 
I only have notifications on for my AirTag and watch and if I leave either behind, I get notified. Other then that it’s all working ok.
 
Find My has stopped working for my items since going to iOS 16. Hasn't worked once. AirTags, AirPods...
