Step-by-step Discovering an AirTag

1

Receive an alert

If someone else’s AirTag appears to be

following youaround andthe owner isn’t

nearby, you will get an alert saying: “AirTag

Found Moving With You”. Tap the alert.

2

Check it out

You’ll be informed your current location

is visible to the AirTag’s owner. You’ll also be

told the time the device was first seen with

you. Unexpected? Then tap ‘Continue’.

3

Track your path

A map will show exactly where you have

been with the AirTag – all information the

owner could have seen. You’ll also see your

current location. Time to take some action.

AirTags can be very useful, not just for you,

but for people with nefarious motives too...

What to do if you’re being

tracked by an AirTag

AirTags are brilliant at tracking devices that may become lost or

stolen, but they can unfortunately be used to track people too

A

irTags are hugely useful. We’ve used

them to find lost car keys and wallets,

and they give us peace of mind when

placed within other valuable items ensuring

they’ll be more easily found if they’re stolen. But

there are concerns about their use, such as the

potential for tracking people surreptitiously.

Apple has thought about this. iOS devices

are able to detect AirTags that have become

separated from their owners, letting people know

they’re carrying one that belongs to someone else.

They’re also easily disabled and tapping them

with a NFC-capable device such as an iPhone

will reveal useful details. Here’s how it works.
