What Are Some Good Uses for AirTags?
Before going any further, we must mention the elephant in the room.
AirTags and other trackers have come under fire for facilitating stalking.
Apple and Google havepromised to promote industry-wide standardsto prevent unwanted tracking.
Still,no companyhas come up with a foolproof method of preventing this obvious harm.
Apple may work on new anti-stalking software in its upcoming iOS 17.5 update.
With that said, there are a bevy of ways to use your AirTag.
You should think about sticking one in your backpack, luggage, or handbag.
I personally had one experience where I left my backpack in the back of an Uber late at night.
I also have another 3rd-party tracker that I use for my car.
However, that hasnt stopped some users from attaching one to their dogs collar.
AirTagsuses the BlueTooth signal on nearby iPhones to relay its position.
Basically, anything that you may want to find later has a potential use for an AirTag.
You could stick one on adroneif things go sideways and you lose battery or connection.
There are plenty of accessories available online to stick them on anything.
Im just waiting for the first person to invent a way to wear them as earrings.
