Apple to start warning AirTag users not to use devices to track people

Accommodation New Zealand introduces

Apple will warn AirTag users when they are setting up the device that it is illegal to use it to track people, as the tech firm responds to concerns that the product is used by stalkers.

Apple added that it was updating guidance on its website on what to do if you are alerted about an unwanted AirTag being located near you, including how to disable it. The company said the guidance would include links to the US-based National Network to End Domestic Violence and the National Center for Victims of Crime.
