In hindsight this is pretty obvious, as if it affects Find My of course it would mess with AirTags, but the fact that it would affect ANY AirTags in range of my phone even if they are not mine never even crossed my mind until now.
I sometimes spoof my location to mess with games and Tinder in other countries. I forgot to turn it off and my sister was trying to track her keys and their location kept jumping between the house and somewhere in Europe.
We were both confused af until I realized the location is awfully close to where I was trying to catch a rare pokemon the other day.
I checked my phone and sure enough I had accidentally left the GPS spoof on…
Apparently they were closer to my phone and it was reporting the spoofed location to the iCloud.
I guess this is good to know if you are being tracked by an unknown AirTag and want to mess with the owner 🤷♂️ Could be a good tweak as well, get a notification if a nearby airtag is trying to use your phone to send its location (kind of like Chusma used to do) and either prevent it or alter it.
