New Anti-Stalking Features Will Be Available

Trackers have always had a problem with security. Sure, the Find My app has many features to let you know if an unknown AirTag is near you, but what about third-party devices?

Well, it seems that will change in iOS 17.5. In the beta version of iOS 17.5, some references were found about new alerts that let you know when third-party trackers that aren’t part of your network are near you.

This will send notifications when a tracker is following you around and give you other options, like the ability to disable the item completely if needed.

This is part of an agreement between Apple and Google that occurred in 2023. Their goal is to make trackers more secure so that people can’t be tracked without their consent.
