Apple’s Find My app might get a new safety feature to help prevent someone from using devices tracked in the app to stalk you instead

Apple’s find my app might get a new safety feature to prevent someone from stalking you instead.’an item safety alerts’ alerts will notify you if an unknown device being tracked on find my is’moving with you’.

The item safety alerts setting was found in early versions of iOS 14.3. The setting is enabled by default in the beta and Apple seems to want it to stay on.

Apple is trying to prevent’stalking’ with airtags. If someone secretly hides a tag in your possessions, your phone will notice and warn you about it.

Apple plans to open up an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook to third-party accessories. A keychain-sized device like Samsung’s Galaxy smarttag or tile’s upcoming Ultra Wideband (UWB) tracker could be a lot easier. Reintroducing this feature into iOS might mean they’re on their way to release.

Ultra-Wideband just means high-frequency radio communications above 500MHz. But it now refers to two specific ideas.

Apple’s find my network may have more reach than you’d think. If an Apple device comes near one of these supported trackers, it can update its location. airtags could theoretically expand the reach and precision even more.
