The problem is not the airtag, it’s the find my network. Anything that can be tracked through the find my network can be used for malicious purposes. It is apple’s USP but also its achilles heel.
- gabeio 5y ago> The problem is not the airtag, it’s the find my network. Tile, for example, actually works the exact same way. If you fully loose your tile connected to your keys you can put it into a "lost" mode [1] which will then notify you and gps locate it just like an airtag if someone with the tile app is near your tile. But you are correct, the big difference here will be how many devices have tile installed vs iphones.

- quantumduck 5y agoThere's literally no one I know who uses tile. On the other hand, airtag find my network will guarantee a near 100% coverage in the west and even in some Asian countries.
