The specification, which incorporates input from device manufacturers and safety and advocacy groups, makes it possible for people who use iOS or Android devices to be notified when they're being tracked through a Bluetooth device without their consent. The two companies have submitted a draft set of standards and best practices for the tech industry to the Internet Engineering Task Force to help thwart unwanted tracking through Bluetooth devices, Apple said in a press release Tuesday. Apple and Google are teaming up to help prevent the misuse of Bluetooth location-tracking devices like Apple's AirTag. ![]() |
