Apple last month officially introduced AirTag, a Bluetooth-enabled tracker designed to help users locate items like handbags, wallets, backpacks, and luggage when they go missing. One of the cooler AirTag features, as Apple notes, is that it can tap into "the vast, global Find My network and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption."
Like any tracking device, Apple's AirTag naturally introduces a number of privacy concerns. For example, imagine a scenario where a jilted boyfriend or girlfriend discreetly attaches an AirTag to an item that belongs to their old significant other. Suffice it to say, the opportunity for stalkers to take advantage of a product like AirTag is very real, but Apple has worked hard to address many of these security considerations.
