Apple and Google Team Up to Enhance AirTag Privacy and Security
- AirTag update in iOS 17.5 will notify users if non-Apple trackers are detected, prompting users to disable tracking
- This addresses stalking/privacy concerns with Bluetooth trackers
- iOS update ties in with Google's Find My Device network launching soon
- Google held back network launch so Apple could apply protections in iOS first
- Coming days/weeks will see big changes in tracking device capabilities and security
