How to use your iPhone to locate an unknown AirTag that's moving with you

AirTags are small trackers that help you find any lost or stolen items. However, there are concerns about people using AirTags for nefarious purposes, which led Apple to raise a notification alert. This alert is designed to stop people from tracking you without your consent. Using Apple's Find My network, you can use your iPhone to detect and locate unknown nearby AirTags.

Detecting AirTags with iPhone

Unknown AirTag alerts appear after an accessory becomes separated from its owner and moves with you over time. In order to receive unknown AirTag alerts, you need to turn on location services and Bluetooth in settings. To do this, please visit:

• Settings>Privacy>LocationServices
• Settings>BluetoothOr click the Bluetooth button in the control panel

Tracking notifications also need to be turned on in notifications.

• Settings>Notifications>Track notifications

If you receive the "AirTag found with You Move Together" notification, please click the alert and continue. In Find My, a map with a red dotted line will pop up showing the approximate location where unknown AirTags were detected on you.

You can click "Play Sound" and you will hear a sound to help you locate the device. If you know the owner of the AirTag, you can click "Pause Security Alert."

However, if the AirTag is unknown, you can learn more and disable it so the device no longer tracks you - on-screen instructions will help you disable the tracker. You can also see if the owner of the AirTag has been tracking your location.

Android users can also receive unknown AirTag alerts

Additionally, users with Android devices can download the Tracker Detect app to receive unknown AirTag alerts. The app looks for Find My Compatible trackers within Bluetooth range that do not belong to their owner. If you think someone is following you, scan with your phone to try to find it. If the app detects an unknown AirTag near you for at least 10 minutes, you can play a sound to help you find it.
