Apple recently rolled out some major updates to its devices that could help prevent AirTags from being used for stalking purposes.
AirTags are small, wireless tracking devices that allow Apple users to track their possessions and other items. However, some clever people have been using these devices to stalk people and invade their privacy. In response to this, Apple has rolled out a number of updates intended to help protect users from these abuses.
The first update will stop people from being able to see the owner’s name associated with an AirTag. This will make it harder for stalkers to start tracking others without their knowledge.
The second update is called “Precision Finding.” This will allow you to get a more detailed look at where an AirTag is located. You will be able to see its exact location on a map and even get an alert if it is moving closer to you. This is a great feature for anyone who is worried about being followed by an AirTag.
The third update will prevent AirTags from being tracked or “listened to” by a third party device. Apple has added a new “listening mode” to their devices that make it near impossible to intercept the Bluetooth information sent by AirTags.
Finally, Apple has implemented a new “alert” system that will inform you if the AirTag is on your person or in your personal items. This feature is great for people that are worried that their AirTag is being used by a stalker. Apple also sent out an email to all users, informing them of this new technology and how to make sure their AirTag is set up correctly.
Overall, these new updates by Apple are a great step towards preventing AirTags from being used for stalking. It is reassuring to know that Apple is continuously working to keep its users safe and secure. With these new updates, you can feel confident that your privacy will be protected and you will never be the victim of AirTag stalking.
