Google and Apple partner to fight location tracker stalking

IPhone and Android Phones to Warn Users of Nearby Tracking Devices #

Apple and Google have announced a new feature for updated iPhones and Android phones that will warn users if there is a wireless location tracking device nearby. The move aims to address the downside of wireless trackers, which can be used for finding lost objects but also for tracking people. Users will receive a notification when their phone detects a Bluetooth tracker in their vicinity. They can then choose to make the tracker play a sound to help locate it and disable it if necessary. The feature will be available on devices with the latest operating systems.
