Don't use AirTags to spy on
If we think about the uses that can be given to Airtags surely one of the first that crossed your mind was to locate people. It was the first thing I thought of and the truth was that it put me against the launch of this little locator device. But after reading the anti-harassment measures designed for its use, I am already calmer.
Apple claims that AirTags are intended for use with objects. Keys, wallets, backpacks, bikes, motorcycles, cars, the number of places to deposit them in order to always have them located is immense.But there is always the person who wants to use them illegally by depositing it in the backpack, bag, or car of someone they want to spy on.
Well then, here's what Apple has developed to avoid using them for that purpose.
Whoever uses AirTags to spy on and locate people would soon be in trouble:
If you chose to cross the line of privacy that we discussed and used the AirTag to spy on, the iPhone of the user in question would notify them with a notification that there is an AirTag moving with the. That is, as long as it is far from the Apple ID to which it is associated or does not belong to a user who is in the vicinity.
This prevents you, for example, from going on public transport and if someone is wearing an AirTag near you, you won't get any notification since its owner is near him.
For those users who have Android devices, or don't own a smartphone, Apple has also thought about these circumstances and if an AirTag is away from its owner for a while, it will start emitting a sound notifying its presence. People who have an Android mobile will be able to scan it to find its owner thanks to NFC .
If the person does not wish to do so, they can always disassemble it by removing the cover and the battery inside. But yes, it will be useless.
The spied person can always take the device to the police and, through the serial number of the device, they can obtain from Apple the name, email and other personal information from the owner who activated the AirTag .
We hope you have been interested in the post and that you share it with all those people who may be interested in this information.
