Apple and Google have joined forces to create a new feature called Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers for Bluetooth tracking devices, alerting users if someone is tracking them without their knowledge. This feature will be available on iOS 17.5 and Android 6.0+ devices, providing users with alerts if an unknown Bluetooth tracking device is moving with them. This collaboration, involving various manufacturers, emphasizes privacy and safety protections for consumers. Apple and Google are working with the Internet Engineering Task Force to establish an official standard for this technology. This innovative partnership sets a new standard for industry-wide cooperation and consumer protection.
