AirTag stalking: Apple cracking down on unwanted tracking

AirTag clipped onto a bag. Apple announced it’s cracking down on unwanted tracking among AirTag users, according to a company news release. AirTags launched last April for $29 apiece and allows users to keep track of their personal items, such as keys, wallets, purses, backpacks and luggage through Apple's "Find My' app. But the seemingly harmless tool is being used by some to stalk people and even commit car thefts. Police departments have called this recent string of crimes "AirTag stalking." "We’ve become aware that individuals can receive unwanted tracking alerts for benign reasons, such as when borrowing someone’s keys with an AirTag attached or when traveling in a car with a family member’s AirPods left inside," the tech giant wrote in an update on its website Thursday.
