Apple AirTags new bug sends false alarms to contacts

Apple’s AirTags tracker, developed to facilitate tracking of personal devices, has been used maliciously many times since its release. Wanting to prevent unauthorized tracking of people and goods, Apple has developed a new warning system for AirTags. But apparently the system is still full of bugs.

AirTags says you’re being followed

With its new alarm system, Apple warns you that you might be tracked if AirTags devices that don’t belong to you see you for a long time. With this system, Apple shows the suspected AirTags device on a map. According to the report of the Wall Street Journal, many users have started to receive fake alarms. These alarms show you multiple lines from your location instead of showing you the AirTags device on the map.

It is not known how common this false alarm is, but many users confirm this. Another AirTags error is that users perceive their AirTags devices as belonging to someone else, and it is said that your AirTags device is following you. It seems that Apple needs to work in more detail with the AirTags tracking system. In addition, it is still quite easy to follow people who do not have an iPhone. According to The Verge’s research, experts point out that if it’s common for AirTags to indicate false alarms, real alerts can be ignored. Let’s see if Apple can fix the AirTags problems.
