Apple announces updates to AirTag devices to prevent them from being used to secretly track people instead of just finding lost keys, wallets or other items
Reports surfaced of Apple's tracking devices, AirTags, being used for"malicious or criminal purposes" such as being secretly stuck on a car to later steal it or find out where the owner goes.
Apple said on Thursday that it has been working with police and safety groups to stop misuse, which it maintained is rare. In addition, Apple said it is working on enabling iPhones to more precisely locate AirTags to help people find any planted without their consent.Launched early last year, AirTags are designed to be affixed to things people tend to lose, synching wirelessly to iPhones, iPads or iPod Touch devices to signal where they can be found.
