Devices like AirTags, Tile, Chipolo, and Pebblebee are supposed to be attached to belongings like wallets and bags, but there have been cases of people using them for criminal or malicious purposes - including alleged stalking.
insisted it had made the small, disc-shaped gadgets"stalker-proof", but has acknowledged that"bad actors" have tried misusing them.
The devices use Bluetooth technology and are designed to be attached to easily lost items like wallets, which then show up in an app on the user's smartphone.AirTags are loaded with what Apple calls its U1 chip, which is essentially able to"ping" any other Apple device out in the wild to triangulate the precise location of the AirTag itself.
To see where an AirTag is, users open the Find My app on an iPhone - and newer handsets can get precise on-screen, Sat Nav-style directions. It all sounds pretty convenient and when used as intended, such as for missing luggage, it can prove excellent value.
