    Both android and iPhones get alerted to AirTags that follow them and I’ve seen it work extremely well. It even gives the option to play sounds from the AirTags or disable them entirely.

    What am I not understanding that makes AirTags the “weapon of choice” for stalkers?

      The article has a report from at least one person claiming they can’t find the airtag even with the alerts.

      There’s also videos on YouTube that show you how to remove the speaker so without the UWB chip, I could see scenarios where people genuinely can’t find them.

      I’m not making the argument either way, just saying that a problem is there. Whether it’s Apple’s responsibility or not is up to the court
