Since their launch in 2021, experts have warned that AirTags can track users without their consent.
Apple has been sued by two women who allege their previous romantic partners used the company's AirTag devices to track their whereabouts, potentially putting their safety at risk.
One of the women said her ex-boyfriend allegedly placed an AirTag -- a small tracking device, slightly larger than a quarter and intended to help locate lost items -- into the wheel well of a tire on her car. The device was allegedly colored with a sharpie marker and tied up in a plastic baggie to disguise it.
"Ms. Doe continues to fear for her safety-at minimum, her stalker has evidenced a commitment to continuing to use AirTags to track, harass, and threaten her, and continues to use AirTags to find Plaintiff's location," the lawsuit said. " seeks to bring this action anonymously due to the real risk that being identified would expose her to increased risk of harassment and/or physical harm.
Earlier this year, Apple added more safeguards to the AirTag to cut down on unwanted tracking. In a blog post, Apple said it has worked with safety groups and law enforcement agencies to identify more ways to update its AirTag safety warnings, including alerting people sooner and louder if the small Bluetooth tracker is suspected to be tracking someone.
