It did not because the author had not updated the user’s device (aka the babysitter) to iOS 14.5. Either the author doesn’t understand that 14.5 is required or they are being deliberately misleading for views.

It sounds like this was still the same day (did his kid not return home for three days), so even on 14.5 it wouldn't have triggered this.

So much for testing

IS iOS 14.5 required to get notified? I'm having trouble finding information on that.

I know iOS 14.5 is required to setup AirTags.
