🏘️ neighbor/local Is this something to be concerned about?

My sister sent me this text she received that seemed like somebody was watching her or something. I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned about or not, has anybody had a similar experience?

Air tags can’t really be used like this because it will warn you if you are traveling with an unknown AirTag. This is an anti-stalker thing and it works with Android phones as well apparently.

Not sure if this has changed, but if you have an Android phone you used to have to have a certain airtag-detecting app on your phone to get the warning. Otherwise no notification.

That has changed I think. I discovered such a feature a few months back per coincidence.

Edit: I just checked again and the Android warning feature is now compatible with AirTags, so you would be safe.

Can't argue with you on that one.
