Apple shipped new AirTag firmware yesterday<\/a>, the first update since AirTag 2 launched earlier this year. And now thanks to official release notes, we know that the new firmware improves AirTag\u2019s anti-stalking feature.<\/p>\n When the first AirTag launched in 2021, it quickly became popular for tracking luggage, keys, and other important items.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, AirTag was also used by bad actors for unwanted tracking of other people.<\/p>\n Apple later instituted anti-stalking measures. These include sending iPhone notifications to the person being unknowingly tracked, and playing using the AirTag speaker to aid detection.<\/p>\n AirTag 2 was upgraded with an improved speaker<\/a> that Apple says is up to 50% louder. This is great for anyone looking for a lost AirTag, but it also benefits those searching for an AirTag they don\u2019t own.<\/p>\n And in the new AirTag firmware release notes<\/a>, Apple reveals that it has made a change to the noise that plays when an unwanted AirTag is detected.<\/p>\n AirTag Firmware Update 3.0.45<\/p>\n Updates the unwanted tracking sound to more easily locate an unknown AirTag during Precision Finding.<\/p>\n Bug fixes and other improvements.<\/p>\n Though the release notes don\u2019t specify models, as far as we\u2019re aware this change only applies to the new AirTag 2, not the first-gen model.<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t yet had the opportunity to find an unwanted AirTag traveling with me, so it\u2019s unclear how exactly Apple has updated the noise.<\/p>\n It\u2019s possible that it\u2019s louder than before. Perhaps the tone has been modified to be easier to hear at a distance. Or some combination of both.<\/p>\n Whatever the specifics may be, Apple clearly believes the updated sound will make it easier for users to find unwanted AirTags.<\/p>\n Have you heard the updated AirTag sound for unwanted tracking?
