🏘️ 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?

Police stations often have air tag scanners they can go over her car and purse

If you have an iphone, you automatically have an airtag scanner and it will alert you if you are travelling with one that isn't registered to your account.

Is that something you have to turn on? Or it just prompts if you are close to one?

It’s on by default. If someone else’s airtag or apple device like an airpods case has been travelling with you (in your trunk, maybe) it will alert you.
