Apple moves to stop AirTag tracking misuse

Apple plans to introduce a number of changes to make it harder to misuse AirTags to track someone.
The button-sized devices are designed to work with Apple's 'Find My' network to locate lost items.
In January, a number of women told the BBC they had been followed using AirTags.
Apple launched AirTags in April last year. The small, circular devices can be attached to luggage or keys - anything you could lose.
But the devices can be misused to track people by being hidden in a car, or on a personal item such as a bag.
As part of the changes to make misuse harder, Apple said every user setting up their AirTag for the first time will see a message warning that using the device to track people without consent is a crime in many regions around the world.
Currently, iPhone users (and Android users who download an app) receive "unwanted tracking" alerts if an unknown AirTag moves with them.
