In 2021, Apple launched a Bluetooth tracking device called the AirTag, which, in conjunction with the Find My app for Apple devices, can help users track and find important items.

The product was developed with the obvious intention of protecting users' important assets, but there are also malicious users who use it for unwanted tracking.

In May of this year, Apple and Google jointly submitted a proposed industry specification, and will release a production implementation of the tracking alert specification by the end of 2023, in order to combat such misuse of Bluetooth tracking devices.

The Apple AirTag can track all kinds of personal items such as keys, wallets, luggage and even cars, and because of its small size and undetectable size, and the positioning accuracy is very accurate, it is also easy to become a weapon for criminals, and in their hands such an excellent product has become a means of personal tracking.

This is something that the entire industry does not want to see and absolutely does not allow, in order to be able to effectively combat this situation, Apple and Google will jointly rectify itAllows Bluetooth location tracking devices to be compatible with tracking detection and alerts across iOS and Android platforms.

Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, EUFY Security, and Pebblebeeand other major tracker brands have clearly supported the draft specification.

In the original plan, Google would launch this summer"Find My Device Network"., serving more than 1 billion Android devices around the world, but Apple has not yet provided the necessary functions on the iOS system, so the launch time can only be delayed.

Subsequently, Apple partnered with Google to release a draft of "Find My Device Network" on December 20 to accelerate the pace of standardizing the use of Bluetooth trackers.

After the regulation comes into effect, both iOS and Android users will directly send relevant reminders to users as long as their mobile phones detect suspicious tracking devices nearby, so as to effectively combat this kind of illegal behavior and make malicious tracking undetectable.

Of course, breaking down the barriers between Apple and Android is a great benefit for both parties, and it is also convenient for users of different systems, which can be said to be a great joy for everyone.
