We have seriously addressed the problem of unwanted tracking, which has been a social problem for a long time, in the design of AirTag.

That’s why the Find network was developed with privacy in mind and uses end-to-end encryption technology. It’s the same reason why we developed the first proactive system that alerts you to unwanted tracking. In this way, we hope to start a trend in the industry for others to add such proactive alerts to their products.

For example, we’ve learned that people who borrow a key with an AirTag or travel by car where a family member forgot their AirPods get these alerts. On the other hand, we have received reports that malicious people are also trying to use AirTag for criminal purposes.

Apple continues to work closely with various security groups and law enforcement agencies. As a result of our own assessment and discussion, we have identified even more ways to update AirTag security alerts and help protect against spam.

We actively work with law enforcement agencies in all requests we receive regarding AirTag. According to our own information and conversations with law enforcement, cases of AirTag abuse are rare. But our effort is to have none.

Each AirTag has a unique serial number and paired AirTags are associated with an Apple ID. Apple can provide information about paired accounts when there is a subpoena or valid law enforcement request. We have had successful collaborations with law enforcement in many cases where the information we provided was used to track AirTag and find, catch and prosecute criminals.”
