Frenemies Apple and Google are taking on AirTag stalkers together
Stalkers who abuse readily-available Bluetooth trackers like Apple AirTags to follow unsuspecting people have become a major concern for many. To try and combat this Apple’s iPhones can alert you if an unknown AirTag is following you – but there’s currently no automatic detection for people that use a different smartphone brand .
This partnership between Apple, Google, and other companies should reduce the stalking risks associated with Bluetooth trackers by introducing automatic detection for a wide array of trackers to a broader spread of smartphones. Currently, this initiative is in its early stages, but according to the announcement we should see something implemented before the end of 2023.
