After the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+ rushed to the run, Apple finally launched the long-awaited AirTag smart tracker at the Spring Loaded spring new product launch earlier this week. Thanks to ultra-wideband (UWB) technology that is more accurate than Bluetooth positioning, users of newer iPhone smartphones can easily find lost items in the corner of the corner through the Find My service. At the same time, some people also raised doubts about AirTag’s privacy and security issues.
For example, when someone quietly places an AirTag on your wallet or car, it may be tracked unconsciously? Fortunately, judging from the instructions pulled down by WCCFTech on Apple’s official website, as a technology company known for protecting user privacy, Apple has fully considered the “two sides” of the AirTag smart tracker. Therefore, when an unbound third-party AirTag smart tracker is detected nearby, the user can also instantly see the relevant prompt on the iPhone/iPad side. The original site reads:

AirTag will prevent unnecessary tracking. If someone else secretly stuffs a smart tracker into the user’s belongings, the iPhone will detect the companion and send out an instant reminder. If after a while, the user still does not find a third-party tracker, the corresponding AirTag will also play a sound so that the user knows its existence. In other words, Apple has ensured that it will be difficult for third parties to abuse AirTag’s tracking function without the user’s knowledge.
Of course, what is more, likely to happen in reality is to accidentally pick up the AirTags of relatives and friends, or get in close contact with a group of people with smart trackers (such as taking a train or other public transportation). At this time, there is no need to worry too much, because only when the AirTag exceeds the connection distance with the owner, the corresponding alarm will be triggered.
