All of this nonsense is why when I built my current house, it was all done with Control4. I have one app that controls everything in my house, from A/V, to lights, to blinds, to door locks, etc, and it can do damn near anything you can think up. Most importantly, it’s rock solid. Yes, it’s more expensive, but I’m willing to pay the price to have things that work together, work properly, and work every time. And not have to remember what app does what! 

Just preordered this to replace my Tile Slim, which is currently the last Tile I’m still using. I think it was a big mistake on Tile’s part to decide against supporting FindMy. Their network just can’t compete. When I leave something behind with an AirTag, it’s location is updated many times a day, versus Tile where I’m lucky if it updates at all. 

Sorrry, Tile. I was a Tile customer for years, but their network just can’t touch Apple’s Find My network. I still have a Tile Slim in my wallet, but everything else has been replaced with Air Tags. Tile has better form factors, but forgoing the Find My network was a big mistake. Like most everyone I know, I am an Apple user, and could care less about Android support. Lately, I’ve checked on the location of AirTags that were left in my car in both an airport parking lot, as well as a parking lot at my work. Despite having not been near my car for hours (or days), the location of my AirTags was updated every 15 minute to half hour, which was certainly never the case with Tile. I once left a Tile in a Bluetooth headphones case that I left on an airplane. The location was updated once, and then never again.

Does this work with the AirPods Pro in the case and the case closed? It's been a while since I've had to locate my AirPods Pro, but as I recall, they couldn't be located unless the case was open or the pods were out of the case.

It worked yesterday with the case open, but today with the case closed it still shows yesterday’s location. 

Are you sure you have the newest firmware? I’ve been playing with it all day today and it’s definitely now working with the case closed. It’s continually updating the location (when in range of an iOS device), allows me to play a sound to find it (although very quiet), and activate lost mode - all while they’re in the case!

Just go to the Settings app and “Always Allow” will be inside the location settings of every app that requests for location. Not that hard.

Exactly what I was going to post - the functionality exists today, and as far as I know, was never removed; it was just removed as a default choice.
