Yeah ask your dad if he has a tag in the car and can share the tag with you and then it will show for you as the car and not alert you.
If he doesn’t then… you need to go around the car trying to connect to it unless it fell off the car already or they removed it already. I’m guessing outside the car if you had it locked. Under wheel arches and bumpers. Even if it doesn’t make a sound you should still be able to connect to it to locate it.
I wonder what makes this possible. If it’s the lack of HDCP stopping the USB working in the first place, or the fact that you’re connecting a display output via USB which the phone treats differently to if you were connecting a display to the phone. Like; if the HDMI output then appears to the OS as a HDCP compatible HDMI output because the iPhone doesn’t have one of those itself.
That’s actually quite cool. And useful to know.
Most apps don’t allow recording.
Some apps don’t allow mirroring (Netflix ok with HDMI mirroring last time I used it 2 years back but some others nope)
Some apps don’t allow mirroring via AirPlay (Netflix says nah)
Some apps don’t allow or support AirPlay handoff (Netflix says nah use the app on the TV and cast instead, but Paramount for example hands off and plays in TV native player)
Even on macOS some apps refuse to show if the screen is mirrored without HDCP link.
Thing is with the max or plus sized phones, if you’re sat at a distance to the TV screen; your phone if you hold it up is probably a larger display from your perspective anyway. But not ideal when sharing the screen.
So we have 2 solutions in this house; one is the Apple TV box and we have that logged in to the apps. The other is MacBook Air for on the go. And granted neither of those are as nice as a portable USB-C display for an iPhone. But since I needed the MacBook for coding I now have it on hand
Not the same on the droids. So far as I can tell.
iOS has the lists you can set on a focus and all the messing about. True.
But this feature, at least for me, is tagged to a contact. It lives with the contact across all my devices. And it means I can’t accidentally make any new settings changes, modes, mute switches, vibrate, no vibrate, cinema, focus, sleep, driving, anything not now not ever not old not new and not yet to be discovered way to accidentally have that call not ring for that person. Their call will ring. On all my devices that are on.
That’s a separate peace of mind. I can’t mess up a setting so that I won’t hear or get their call.
