You do without Apple devices

Apple devices such as iPads or iPhones can become a problem for some people if they do not want to be found. Protect other people by deactivating the location services on your devices or not using them at all.

More information

Especially in contexts such as women's shelters or stalking, tiny AirTags are sometimes used to locate people, devices or vehicles in Apple's network. Apple devices register nearby AirTags and automatically share their location with the Apple network. It is therefore particularly important not to provide Apple's network with any further information. Turning off the location services on Apple devices can help, but unintentional activation or visitors with such devices can put people in danger again. Avoiding such devices and raising the awareness of those around you therefore play a key role here.
