If you’re like us, you get slight separation anxiety when you see your dog run off to who knows where. We don’t blame you. Fortunately, there are products on the market designed to keep your pets safe and give you a little more peace of mind: GPS collars.
What are the benefits of GPS pet trackers and collars?
The American Humane Association estimates over 10 million dogs and cats are lost and stolen in the U.S. every year. Equipping pets with ID tags or microchips is one way to ensure your pets’ safe return in case they get lost while on vacation or stray away from home, but you can take your dog’s safety to another level — with wearable tech. Pet wearables, such as GPS collars, are making it possible for pet parents to track their dog’s location (and even monitor their activity) wherever they are.
How do GPS pet trackers work?
A GPS chip in the tracker acquires your pet’s position and sends the info to your smartphone primarily via cell coverage. Usually, an app is used to display your pet’s location on a map. Base stations are commonly used to establish the link between the tracker, which is attached to your dog’s collar, and your smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth.
What to look for in a GPS pet collar
Some smart collars can do more than simply track your fur baby’s location. If you’re looking for additional features, pick a tracker that monitors activity and sleeping patterns, like a Fitbit for pets. Note, however, that a GPS tracker is not a substitute for a microchip implant. Use a GPS collar or tracker in conjunction with a microchip, which stores your pet’s info and is still the best way to ensure you’re reunited with them if they get lost. Most pet shelters and veterinary clinics have scanners for microchips.

iOS 16: How to Pin Tabs in Safari on iPhone and iPad
Safari’s pinned tabs feature lets you better organize your tabs, especially if find you have too many open at the same time. It’s particularly useful if you have certain websites that you tend to visit frequently throughout the day.
That’s because when you pin a tab in iOS 16, you no longer need to go searching through all of your open tabs for it, because it gets moved right to the top of the open tabs screen, like so.
The other neat thing about pinned tabs is that they stay in place, even when you open a new Safari window or quit and reopen Safari. And when you click a link to another website from a pinned tab, the other website opens in a new tab, ensuring your pinned tab always shows the website you pinned.
Pinning a tab that you want to come back to is easy. If you have the tab open and selected in Safari, simply long press the URL bar and select Pin Tab from the popover menu.
If you’re viewing Safari’s open tabs browser screen, find the open tab that you want to pin and long press on it, then select Pin Tab from the popover menu.
Not only can you pin multiple tabs in Safari in iOS 16, you can also pin tabs that are part of Tab Groups so that they are open all the time. To pin a tab to a Tab Group in iOS 16, open up the Tab Group, then long press on the URL bar and tap the Pin Tab option.
