If you are an Android user, and I put an AirTag on you, your phone won't report the location on the tag.
But every apple product that gets close to you will report your location.
The solution is correct, inform a user that they’re being followed by an AirTag. But if the platform isn’t opened you risk having to install half a dusin app from different tracking devices, to be informed that you’re being followed.
Doesn’t it also beep?
How hard is it to snip the speaker leads, or damage the speaker in some other way so that it produces no sound?
Does each manufacturer of those also owe you an Android app?
Yeah, probably.
Well, if you're a company that manufactures a product that can be used for spying on people, and you want to make clear that the intended use isn't for spying on people, then I guess you need to ask how badly you want to make clear that it's not a technology for spying on people.
In the case if your specific questions, if you don't have a phone with BTLE, then your phone probably can't detect it.
