How being tracked by an AirTag can cause serious harm

Being tracked without your knowledge or consent can affect your safety, emotional well-being, property, finances and personal relationships.

• Stalking and Harassment: An AirTag can be used to track someone’s location without their knowledge, allowing another person to follow or monitor their movements.
• Emotional Distress: Discovering that someone has been secretly tracking your location can cause fear, anxiety and emotional distress.
• Impact on Personal Relationships: Stalking, harassment or physical violence may also strain a person’s relationship with their spouse or partner.
• Financial Harm: Individuals who experience this type of stalking may find themselves paying for vehicle inspections, additional security measures and, in some cases, relocating to a new home or place of business.
• Property Damage: AirTag stalking may also involve damage to property. In one reported case, a person allegedly used an AirTag to track someone to a friend’s home, then damaged the friend’s property.
• Physical Violence: In some reported cases, AirTags have allegedly been used to locate people before a physical attack or assault. At least one reported AirTag tracking incident resulted in a death.

How Apple AirTags are supposed to work

Apple AirTags are small tracking devices designed to help people find belongings, such as keys, wallets or luggage. AirTags use nearby Apple devices to send location information to the Find My network, allowing the owner to see the AirTag’s location on a map.

Apple also designed safety features intended to prevent unwanted tracking. If an unknown AirTag is moving with you, your phone should alert you. An AirTag separated from its owner is also designed to make a sound, which can help you find the device.

Why AirTag safety features may not prevent stalking

Lawsuits allege that AirTag safety features do not always provide an effective warning about unwanted tracking. In some instances, an alert may not arrive until after someone has already been tracked, while others may not receive a notification at all.

Even when someone receives an alert, they may have difficulty finding the AirTag. The device’s audible chime may be difficult to hear when it is hidden in a vehicle, bag or other personal belongings. AirTags can also be modified to disable the speaker, making them even harder to detect.

The AirTag stalking lawsuit alleges that these safety features may not provide enough protection when an AirTag is misused to track or stalk someone.
