Apple just needs to add shared AirTags to iClould family sharing. I think that’d solve your issue and ~90% of other unwanted stalking alerts. They already allow shared “Find My iDevice” and just need to add AirTags to the mix.
- nomel 5y agoI agree, but from previous HN threads, people have said that this would enable people in abusive relationships to be stalked. Also, it appears that some distance is required to trigger the notification, so I imagine stalkers could use the AirTags within this distance. For example, to find which apartment someone lives in, within a building. I think there will always be headlines about stalking and abuse, and people claiming Apple didn't do enough (even though it's so annoying as is), regardless.
- varenc 5y ago> would enable people in abusive relationships to be stalked I can see that concern, but family sharing ALREADY lets you share iDevice locations at all time. That's a superior form of stalking compared to AirTags... So I just don't get this concern. It might just be perception though. From a PR perspective this is a bad time to release any feature that could be perceived as reducing AirTag stalking alerts.
- jeromegv 5y agoYep. People saying that have no idea.

- Schiendelman 5y agoIt appears to already be in the mix for me. I see other reports on this thread saying the same.
