Just because Apple says an AirTag was detected “near you” doesn’t mean you’re being followed—or that a rogue Bluetooth tracker is even there at all
Apple alerts users when an unknown AirTag is ‘near you.’ When those people don’t appear to be in the path of any rogue tracker, confusion and concern follow.
AirTags were created to help track personal items, but Apple has acknowledged that they have been used to attempt stalking or theft. WSJ’s Dalvin Brown tests how easy it is to use an AirTag to track a person, and how well Apple’s defenses hold up against potential criminal activity.

Apple created its $29 quarter-size Bluetooth device to help people keep track of their keys and other personal items, but they’re also being used to track people—sometimes without permission.
