Not automatically. You had to click 'sign up for threads'. Still, it was very seamless and even let you auto follow those you had on Instagram, so the user count was definitely inflated. It's not surprising the number of active users are way down.
Alone. Phone's unplugged. Ignoring calls even though no one does.
I gotta hand it to Samsung that they outline all the open source licences they use, at least in their Galaxy smartphone products:
Many malls in Toronto have this. And as others have said, airports. Pearson International included.
Yes, it is turned on by default. You can opt-out if you'd like. Here's a pretty good article that covers it all: https://www.howtogeek.com/725842/what-is-apples-find-my-network/
Samsung SmartTags "Find" network is opt-in, which stagnated the growth of their network.
Tile's network is naturally opt-in as it requires us to install the app, and therefore has the lowest coverage from my understanding.
I recall seeing the following approximate numbers:
- Apple: 1,000,000,000
- Samsung: 300,000,000
- Tile: 35,000,000
Battery and data usage are negligible.

That's how it's expected to work, yes. As does Samsung SmartTags, and Tiles. These tracking devices (that we purchase and opt-in for) are a net positive in most cases. How else would we expect them to work if not for Bluetooth beacons (and UWB)?
