I don't really think this is on Apple, but I find it funny that you need to pay Apple (by buying an iPhone) in order to get their anti-stalking features. My grandfather, who never used a smart phone, would have no way of knowing an AirTag was being used against him.
- Tagbert 4y agoIf you have an iPhone it will tell you if an unknown AirTag is near you. Apple provides a free app for Android phones that will let you see if any AirTags are nearby. You don’t have to buy anything

- quitit 4y agoThis is pretty false information. Along with an Android app being available for direct scanning. The airtag itself will beep if it's been away from its linked device for an unusual amount of time. It's also the only tracking device that when turned into police can be used to obtain information on the person observing the location (i.e. the stalker).
- valarauko 4y agoI think the android app has to manually search for nearby tags, while iPhone will proactively surface notifications that they're being followed, something the Android app does not do. So you'd have to at least suspect that you're being stalked with Android.
