Apple released new AirTag firmware for users this week, but details of the update were unknown. However, the company has now confirmed that the latest AirTag firmware (version 1.0.301) improves the unwanted tracking alert.
On a rare occasion, Apple has posted official notes on what changed with the latest AirTag firmware update on its website (via MacRumors). There, the company revealed that AirTag firmware update 1.0.301 tunes the sound alert when an unwanted AirTag is detected, so that a person can easily locate it.
AirTag Firmware Update 1.0.301:
Adjusted unwanted tracking sound to locate an unknown AirTag more easily.
Requires iOS 14.5 or later.
Since the introduction of the AirTag, we have seen some good and fun stories related to the product. Unfortunately, some malicious people use AirTag to track others without their consent. As a result, Apple announced new anti-harassment measures to prevent anyone from using AirTags to track people.
For example, iPhone users now receive an alert if an unknown AirTag is detected moving with that person. The company has also introduced an Android app to help more people identify unknown AirTags. Then, users can sound an alert on that AirTag to find and eliminate it, or report it to the authorities.
It should be noted that AirTag firmware updates are rolled out to users in stages. To receive these updates, make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS and your AirTag is within Bluetooth range of your phone.
