A Tile that isn’t near you can only be tracked if it comes into proximity of someone with the Tile app open and active on their phone. Why are AirTags so good for stalking?Īlthough they are conceptually similar to a Tile, AirTags have far more stalking potential. Unfortunately, there’s a dark side to AirTags: stalking. It’s not hard to find news stories of people using things like Find My iPhone to follow their stolen property directly into danger, being shot at when they approached the thief they’d tracked down.)
Sounds great, right? Everyone who has ever had something stolen-a laptop bag, for example-has fantasized about being able to track it down and get their property back. It can be put into lost mode, enabling someone who finds it to tap it with their phone and get information you supply, such as a phone number to call. You can see its location on a map, and if you’re close to it, you can get a directional signal on newer iPhones. You can track an AirTag with your iPhone in some powerful ways, enabling you to locate a set of keys that has fallen down between the cushions of a couch, for example. The circular, coin-like product is designed to be attached to or placed in objects that are commonly lost, such as keychains, wallets, purses, backpacks, etc. In April of 2021, Apple introduced AirTags to the world, making the small tracking devices-similar to a Tile- available for purchase at the end of that month.
