Embodiments described herein provide for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processor to perform operations comprising establishing a wireless connection with a beacon peripheral, monitoring a connection state of the wireless connection, in response to detecting a loss of connection with the beacon peripheral, posting a separation notification for the beacon peripheral to a notification framework of the electronic device, deferring display of the notification during a reconnect interval, attempting to reconnect with the beacon peripheral during the reconnect interval, and displaying the separation notification via a user interface in response to a failure to reconnect with the beacon peripheral.

Separation notifications for wireless accessories

Methods to provide separation notifications are described. In an embodiment, movement is detected beyond a threshold distance from a trusted location, in response to the detecting, receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device and storing information on a status of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device, receiving an indication that the electronic device is in transit, monitoring the wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, and upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, send a separation notification.
