About this lesson

Tracking tiles, such as Apple AirTags, Tile trackers, and similar devices, are designed to be compact and easily attachable to various personal items for tracking purposes. However, when misused, these devices can be hidden in less obvious places to track individuals without their consent. The advent of compact tracking devices like Apple's AirTag, Tile, and others, designed to help locate lost items, has unfortunately also introduced the potential for their misuse in unauthorized tracking of individuals. Recognizing the signs that you might be being tracked by such a device is crucial for your privacy and safety.
