AirTag | Apple Doesn't Want You to Know These AirTag Secrets

In today's video we take a look at the Apple Airtag and iOS 14.5 privacy settings in a bit more detail. This will be a slightly different AirTag review. We also try to answer the question around what is behind this sweet little button 😊

How does Apple Airtag compare with Tile? Is the competition from Tile and Samsung able to challenge Apple?

Are Apple tracking individuals with AirTag? Could AirTags reveal your location and open you up to unwanted tracking? What about Airtag for Android users?

There are many reasons I believe this product has come to the market right now and it's part of a global trend in the IOT (Internet of Things) and a market that will be worth over 7 billion dollars by 2025.

If you are considering Apple AirTag, have a think about how much data you are prepared to share with Apple, in addition to the data necessary for AirTag to work.

Thanks all for watching, a slightly different review of the Apple AirTag, looking at the data privacy aspects and how much we already trust Apple and other companies with our data. Is there any competition for Apple in the tracking market? Have a great day 🙏🏽

Your video quality is incredible. I've watched other 4K videos, , but yours is incredibly crisp.

[kiohaha]

@2:53 what is that little speaker screen combo?

[lovevideos]

Thank you for this video. What is the best way to prevent someone from stalking you with one of these things, since I'm hearing that it can take 3 days to a couple of weeks before your iphone will notify you that there is a tag close by? Is there a setting that we should turn off once we get closer to home? Of course by the time our phone notifies us, it's already too late.

I have ADD and love my AirTags. They are a lifesaver for me personally. I am all ways loosing things and can never leave my house just once. So when I’m in a hurry and need to find my wallet keys or what ever I can hit find and be taken right to them saving me from my self.

I realized that a person who is close to your tag they receive a notification pop up saying airtag detected and it allows them to disable the tag. My husband was walking our dogs and they have airbags on their collars. My concern is this defeats the Purpose of finding your dogs of it tells someone they have an airtag around! I’m so upset about this.

Hi. Im Brazilian. Its just great to see that you have Senna Helmet on your setup!

I bought an air tag to put on my dogs collar so I can find her when she escapes my yard. The problem I have encountered is her location is not shown in real time. There is a time delay which makes the air tag almost useless since I don’t care where she was, I want to know where she is. Any suggestions on how to show real time location?

[kenjifox]

do Airtags work in reverse? That is:

Suppose I walk away with an Airtag and forget my iPhone behind? will Airtag alarm/beep to let me know I'm forgetting my iPhone?

[natespics]

How do you pull up that green screen to find the air tag?

People who ask for likes an to subscribe after showing a bit of content is so much better than creators who start the video asking for this. Good job.

Enjoyed the video, quick question which of the system services are directly connected to the AirtTags? When I first setup my AirTag, a dialogue box told me change my Privacy settings. In a rush I turned them all on that were not already on.

[romanponce]

Will my android notify me of an Apple air tag automatically or do I have to install the all to be notified

Since this video was posted, I’ve currently updated my iOS software to 17.1.1. I’ve noticed that Apple has redesigned their settings. Recently, I reviewed my privacy settings. I take my privacy as TOP PRIORITY. AirTags are new, hence the need to revise my privacy settings. Please consider posting a current Privacy Settings video. I get a lot of important information from them (you). Thanks.

Great video! I did not understand, however, what is the purpose of "mobile network search": is it used to first obtain the GPS position by retrieving it from the position of the antenna? And therefore a faster localization (in practice the old nokia a-gps?) And then recovering the GPS position immediately also has a lower battery consumption?

[erichacker]

Here’s what I’m thinking luckily AirTags where just made with Bluetooth but here’s the other thing if apple ever made AirTags2 it would be bluetooth and cellular data, I’ll let that sink in. That would make AirTags2 the device god of trackable things and more.

[cheekster]

Just followed your settings suggestions in this video whilst setting up my AirTag 4-pack.

Thanks, as always, Alex. 🙏🏻

[brucescott]

Can an Apple AirTag be disabled remotely (without having access to the tag itself)?

[papagigo]
