I do not think that somebody will track me with a physical tracker, but still nice to have some protection.

minus-squarestevedidWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoYep you got it! Specifically only the person who bought the AirTag and registered it. Apple is rolling out the newest generation of them soon so hopefully it will get addressed/secured further. It’s a tough problem that I’m not sure there’s a solution for besides notifying nearby people that it’s there
