I do not own an Apple phone. Does the app to track or report on AirTags automagically get installed?
If not, how did she detect it?
Asking because in the article "At the time, she did not even know what an Air Tag was until she received a notification that she was being tracked." this implies that she did not use, therefore did not need the Air Tag app, so then how did she detect it?
- SirHound 5y agoAll iPhones track airtags via the OS
- acdha 5y agoIt's built-in to iOS 14.5 and later: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227 > If you see this message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later, an AirTag that has been separated from the person who registered it is traveling with you, and the owner might be able to see its location. It's possible that the AirTag might be attached to an item you're borrowing.

- codyogden 5y agoApple put anti-tracking measures in place which will alert any iPhone owner if they have an unknown AirTag nearby that seems to be following their location. The AirTag connects to the Find My network (via Bluetooth) which allows it to broadcast its location anonymously via any nearby iPhone owner.
