That really should do it. I mean, in the unlikely event that a message to first time users doesn't solve the problem of people being stalked using AirTags, go ahead and keep working on the other updates. Belt and suspenders. But my guess is, it won't be necessary.
They should consider adding a message for iPhone users to tell their friends with Android phones that they "should be really careful not to get tracked by AirTags, because there's no way they'd know about it".

- theshrike79 5y agoThey can just install an app if they're worried about being tracked by AirTags: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trackerdetect&hl=en&gl=US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trac... Just remember to add the Tile app too, it does the same thing.
- nomel 5y agoDon't forget the Samsung SmartTag app!
- Melatonic 5y agoWont run in the background though - you have to actively think to use it each time your worried about being stalked.
- theshrike79 5y agoThere are other apps that run on the background, that's just the official Apple one.
