The biggest dangers of using tracking devices… so you can escape?

If you detect an unknown Bluetooth tagging device, there are ways to disable the device in so that it cannot track your location.

With the AirTag, NFC-enabled smartphone and iPhone users can disable the device by holding the top of the phone next to the white side of the AirTag. This will prompt a notification that takes users to the serial number of the AirTag and they can then access instructions for disabling the device.

Electronic fraud does not respect bureaucracy

This feature can be used to find innocently lost AirTags and return them to the owner if he has set the device in Lost Mode or to disable unwanted AirTags.

Apple provides detailed instructions on its site web.

All AirTag batteries can be removed, which is not the case with all Tile and Tile-enabled devices. If the battery can be removed, this is an easy way to disable the device. For versions of Tile devices powered by non-replaceable batteries, the company recommends wrapping the device in several layers of foil or insert it in an electronic bag to block signals.

While the user may be tempted to destroy an unwanted tag, especially if the battery can’t be removed, this isn’t the best idea.

You can always take a hammer and smash the thing, or put it in the trash and send it in dump, but evidentially, if you want to enforce the law, wiping the device means you may not have the serial number.
