Attach an AirTag to your purse, keys, wallet, or even your car, and if you lose it, the device will ping every nearby Apple product with Bluetooth turned on to triangulate its location.

In June 2021, three months after the product launched, it shortened the window for a feature where <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231115110743/https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/ahead-of-wwdc-apple-bolsters-airtags-privacy-measures-says-developing-android-detector-app/" target="_blank">the AirTag would chime</a> if it was separated from its owner; originally, it was three days, which they changed to between eight and 24 hours—ideally, alerting a stalking target to the device in their vicinity. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231115110743/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/02/an-update-on-airtag-and-unwanted-tracking/" target="_blank">In February</a>, following the <em>New York Times’</em> experiment, Apple announced even more security features, including warnings at setup that tracking people without their consent is a crime, more precise tracking of the AirTag for the person being tracked, and louder chimes. </body></html></p></span></div><div class=""><span><div class="adph adph--border"><div class="ac-w-ph__dsc">Advertisement</div><div class="ac-w-ph"><div class="ph ph-longform-scroll"><div class="vice-ad__container"><span class="vice-ad"></span></div></div></div></div></span></div><div class="long-form__body-group"><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock"><p><html><head></head><body>The fact that there are so many reports from people about AirTag stalking means Apple’s security measures, such as the notifications, are working as intended, said Galperin. “It's not that somebody has randomly found an AirTag. It's that the anti-stalking mitigations that Apple has implemented are finally working, and the results are that some smaller subset of those people are then going to police,” she said. “So, yes, we did understand from the very beginning that this was going to be a major problem. But part of it I think is just reflected in the fact that stalking is a major problem. And that having the AirTag alert go off is actually something that a person <em>can</em> bring to the police as solid evidence, which sometimes they otherwise do not have.” </body></html></p></span><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock"><p><html><head></head><body>Some experts said that what the company has done is still not enough. “This is too little too late,” Cahn said. “These gimmicks do little to prevent AirTags from being misused, and they often only notify targets once the damage is done and their location has been tracked. There’s no technical fix that can prevent AirTags from being abused. As long as Apple continues to sell a cheap, easily-hidden tracking device, stalkers will continue to use it.

In most of these reports, when a woman reported a stalker, the responding officer either offered them a domestic violence hotline phone number, or advised them to file (or re-file) for a protective order. Some of the officers wrote that they’d heard of AirTags being used to steal from people before, but others seemed to not understand what an AirTag was or how to disable it. </body></html></p></span><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock"><p><html><head></head><body>“Police often have no idea how to respond to AirTags, but even if they did, that wouldn’t be a solution,” Cahn said. “We can’t arrest our way out of Apple’s mess.

In reality, however, the stalkerware industry is much more mundane, and dangerous, than film tropes depict—especially for women. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Today, stalkerware—also called “spyware,” “consumer surveillance software,” or “spouseware”—takes the form of applications on or alterations to a device that enable someone to remotely monitor its activity. An application called PhoneSheriff, for instance, allowed its users to read texts and view photos on, as well as access the GPS location of, the phone on which it’s secretly installed. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e As \u003ca href=\\\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/53vm7n/inside-stalkerware-surveillance-market-flexispy-retina-x\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003ereported by\u003c/a\u003e Motherboard last year, tens of thousands of people fall prey to software and apps like PhoneSheriff, which was \u003ca href=\\\"http://www.phonesheriff.com/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003ediscontinued \u003c/a\u003ein March, 2018.

The FlexiSPY app is one particularly popular example of software marketed toward those trying to “catch” spouses or keep tabs on people without their knowledge: As Motherboard’s \u003ca href=\\\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/aemeae/meet-flexispy-the-company-getting-rich-selling-stalkerware-to-jealous-lovers\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003eJoseph Cox reported in 2017\u003c/a\u003e, over the years, FlexiSPY has added features to send fake text messages, steal application passwords, take pictures remotely using a phone's camera, track web history, spy on Facebook, iMessage, and WhatsApp chats, and monitor aspects of Tinder usage.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e There aren’t concrete numbers around how many people are victims of stalkerware abuse. But being surveilled by one’s partner is a reality for many who report abuse, and is a serious form of abuse itself, according to organizations like the \u003ca href=\\\"http://www.ncdsv.org/images/What%20Keeps%20People%20in%20Abusive%20Relationships.pdf\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003eNational Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence\u003c/a\u003e.

Spyware and stalkerware tick several of these boxes: Having knowledge of someone’s whereabouts, connections, and conversations is invaluable for someone trying to control them.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Here are some things to know about how Stalkerware works and questions to ask yourself if you think someone may be tracking you. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow would stalkerware get on my phone in the first place? \u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Most of this software ends up on a device through one of two ways: A phishing attack (email or text links that contain viruses and trick you into clicking on them by pretending to be something/someone else), or physical access to the device.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the first case, the abuser could send a link in an email that looks like they’re sharing an interesting website, but when clicked would actually trigger the installation of spyware onto your device without you knowing. The second requires the abuser to have access to the device’s passcode or PIN, which they could get from talking the victim into sharing it with them or by watching over their shoulder when they unlock the phone. They could also have bought the phone for them and installed apps before giving it to them as a gift.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Most of the apps someone would use to track someone via a device are framed as “remote access tools” to help parents or employers “manage” devices. But they’re easily used by people trying to control partners, instead. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow do I know if I have one of these applications on my phone? \u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \\\"My number one tip for victims is to trust your instincts. If your instincts tell you that your ex or your current partner knows too much about you, it's entirely possible they're monitoring your activities,\\\" Cindy Southworth, executive vice president of the \u003ca href=\\\"http://nnedv.org/about/staff/31-cs.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003eNational Network to End Domestic Violence\u003c/a\u003e, told Motherboard in 2017.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This seeming sixth-sense about being stalked often doesn’t come from nowhere. Southworth gave the example that one woman’s ex sent her a link to shoes she had been looking at buying earlier, saying they would “look great on her.” This is the kind of manipulation and gaslighting that can keep a victim wondering if they’re making something out of nothing, or if the person they suspect is really watching them.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It’s difficult to tell if someone has installed stalkware on your phone, being that there’s typically no visible evidence. If you have an iPhone, however, it would likely need to be “jailbroken”—a process that removes manufacturer restrictions—in order for the installation to occur, since stalkerware is generally not available in the iPhone App Store. \u003ca href=\\\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xymngz/how-to-protect-yourself-from-creepy-phone-snooping-spyware\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003eAccording to Motherboard reporter Joseph Cox\u003c/a\u003e, one possible way to tell if your phone has been jailbroken is to search your phone for an app called “Cydia,” which allows users to install software onto jailbroken devices. If the app shows us, this is a strong clue that someone may have been installing unwanted software onto your device. If it doesn’t, however, that’s not a guarantee that surveillance software isn’t already on your phone. You can bring your phone to a carrier like an Apple store to have them check it out, but even this is quite risky for someone potentially being watched. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eI just realized I’m being stalked using spyware—what do I do? \u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Before a victim of spyware stalking takes any action toward confronting their stalker or trying to stop it from happening, it’s important to consider the risks and proceed carefully. Abusers sometimes escalate their abuses against their partners when confronted, or when they fear they’ll be found out. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Security expert and activist \u003ca href=\\\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nejmnz/when-technology-takes-hostages-the-rise-of-stalkerware\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003eElle Armageddon wrote for Motherboard\u003c/a\u003e last year that decisions made about what to do next are very sensitive:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Having a spyware-infected device while planning to escape an abusive partner, or taking a compromised device while making a getaway, opens people up to more risks than the already extreme threat of being in, and subsequently leaving, an abusive relationship.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Talking to other people about the abuser, making plans to get away, or searching for ways to delete spyware from your phone can all open you up to risk if your phone usage is being monitored. According to Armageddon, carrying on using your devices and living your life as if nothing is amiss may be the safest thing you can do, until you have a plan for escape. Conducting important conversations on a new device, like a prepaid phone, or in-person with confidantes, is recommended. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow do I get stalkerware off my device and prevent it from happening again?\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e After years of being spied on, it can be difficult to imagine a different way of life.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \\\"I would find myself having conversations with my cell phone in the room that I shouldn't have had with my cell phone in the room,\\\" Jessica, a victim of abuser surveillance through stalkerware, \u003ca href=\\\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/bmbpvv/i-see-you-a-domestic-violence-survivor-talks-about-being-surveilled-by-her-ex\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"\u003etold Motherboard last year\u003c/a\u003e. \\\"Because you just get lazy, you get tired of being that vigilant and frankly feeling a little paranoid.

One option is to wipe your device, and restore it to factory setting. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Keeping your phone up-to-date also helps defend against security threats, including stalkerware. Jailbreaking the phone is often required to install these apps, and newer versions of iOS make that harder to do. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The absence of suspicious apps on your phone doesn’t guarantee that you’re not being surveilled in other ways. Any application that has permission to use your location could be used to track you, such as fitness apps like Strava and running trackers, or even dating apps like Tinder. It’s a good idea to keep your geolocation turned off on your phone as much as possible, in general.
