Happy they’re working on this. Maybe while they’re conveniently married they can solve the green text bubble.

The fact that this didn’t come up as a concern during the development of this product shows that there were no women at the table.

Who knew a small, thin, easily hidden tracking device was a bad idea…

If there was a single woman in any of the rooms creating this product, apple knew the potential for stalking.

Yeah as soon as air tags became a thing I worried about people using it for exactly this reason.

I was today years old when I discovered that AirTags won't help in case of theft because the thieves will get a notification they're being followed…

I heard that cops were telling people to use AirTags in their kias since those vehicles get stolen so often now.

I watched a TikTok about people who have put them on stuff to make sure it doesn't get stolen but if you use an airtag it tells the thief

Why are people pretending wireless trackers didn’t exist before the AirTag? It’s a problem for all the other companies too, are they doing something?

it’s so difficult because if you’re able to disable airtags that don’t belong to you, thieves can get away with stuff. but it’ll stop stalkers so…

Easy: just combine the two “find my…” networks into a singular app. Better functionality plus the ability to see when a bt tracker is near you.

To my silly little non-tech brain what I got from this is we’re being constantly tracked to determine if we’re being tracked? 😂

Everyone saw this was going to be a problem and Apple proceeded anyways, in my opinion they are liable to those who got tracked

The downside of this though is that if some steals whatever your AirTag is tracking they get notified they’re being tracked too.
