#Apple and #Google are working to reduce unwanted tracking.

Item trackers like AirTags, Tile and Galaxy SmartTags are being misused to spy on people. Apple is aware of this, and have added unknown AirTag notifications to iOS and released a Tracker Detect app on Android. Samsung have also added notifications about unknown SmartTags to Galaxy devices.

But sometimes this is not enough, so Apple and Google proposed an industry standard to help combat this. The specification will allow Bluetooth item trackers to be compatible with unknown tracker alerts on iOS and Android.

Companies like Samsung, Tile and Chipolo, as well as safety and advocacy groups like the National Network to End Domestic Violence have expressed support for the draft specification, which offers best practices and instructions for manufacturers, should they choose to build these capabilities into their products.

The specification has been submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a leading standards development organization. Google and Android will release a finished implementation by the end of 2023 that will then be supported in future versions of iOS.
