| What's the aritag |
| Apple launched AirTag in April 2021. The device is an item tracker, similar in size to a coin, with a diameter of about 32mm and a thickness of only 8mm. Users can attach AirTag to their belongings, such as keychains, backpacks, wallets, or bags. When they can’t find the item, they can use AirTag to locate it. AirTag can also emit an alert sound to guide users to its location. The device uses a replaceable CR2032 battery and uses Bluetooth signals and a built-in ultra-wideband chip for positioning. Users can view the location and precise position of AirTag through their iPhone or other Apple devices. However, since the launch of AirTag, many people online have discussed using it to track their children or pets. But Apple has stated that AirTag is intended for tracking items and is not recommended for tracking people or animals. |
| How to avoid being tracked?
|
| To prevent misuse of AirTag for unauthorized tracking, iPhones will automatically detect nearby AirTags that don’t belong to the user and issue a warning. Android phone users can also download the “Tracker Detect” app from the Google Play Store to scan for nearby AirTags that don’t belong to them. In addition, AirTag has anti-tracking safety measures. If an AirTag is separated from its owner for 8 to 24 hours, it will automatically emit an alert sound. This means that if someone uses an AirTag to track another person from a distance, the person being tracked will hear a warning sound after 8 to 24 hours, regardless of whether they use an iPhone or a detection app. |
