    Thank you for this video. What is the best way to prevent someone from stalking you with one of these things, since I'm hearing that it can take 3 days to a couple of weeks before your iphone will notify you that there is a tag close by? Is there a setting that we should turn off once we get closer to home? Of course by the time our phone notifies us, it's already too late.

    • @AlexGTech
      @AlexGTech  2 года назад +3

      Thank you for the kind words 😊 it’s kinda tricky to prevent it, especially given how long it takes to detect. Apple needs to implement a quicker alerting option or stop people from making it silent - I heard people are now able to buy AirTags online without the speaker 😳

    I bought an air tag to put on my dogs collar so I can find her when she escapes my yard. The problem I have encountered is her location is not shown in real time. There is a time delay which makes the air tag almost useless since I don’t care where she was, I want to know where she is. Any suggestions on how to show real time location?

    • @AlexGTech

      I have the same issue to be honest. I am using it for "insurance" in case I actually lose the dog. But for me the lag isn't that long when I am near populated areas. It's only when I go to wider spaces/fields that the lag occurs which makes sense

      I tried this with an AirTag, you don’t get the link to disable it util you place the tag against the back of your phone. It reads the NFC data and then links you to a site that gives you instructions on how to disable the tag. The instructions tell you how to remove the battery. The only way someone can disable your AirTag is if they physically possess it.

    Great video! I did not understand, however, what is the purpose of "mobile network search": is it used to first obtain the GPS position by retrieving it from the position of the antenna? And therefore a faster localization (in practice the old nokia a-gps?) And then recovering the GPS position immediately also has a lower battery consumption?

    • @AlexGTech
      @AlexGTech  2 года назад +1

      To be perfectly honest, some of the settings I have no idea what they do... I just turned them off and see if anything breaks and if they don't break anything I'll keep them off.
      It's virtually impossible to not be tracked these days but as much as possible I try to reduce the amount of data I'm sharing.

    Enjoyed the video, quick question which of the system services are directly connected to the AirtTags? When I first setup my AirTag, a dialogue box told me change my Privacy settings. In a rush I turned them all on that were not already on.

    • @AlexGTech
      @AlexGTech  3 года назад +3

      Hi Tom, thank you glad you you enjoyed it. Under these system settings, “Significant locations” is what Apple will use to protect you against unwanted tracking. When you get home (which the iPhone will assume based on your location history or based off of your contact info) the iPhone will alert you if someone else’s tag is nearby.
      It also needs Location Services turned on.
      And finally it will need “Precise location” under: Settings > Privacy > Location Services, then scroll down and tap Find My.
      Hope this helps 👊🏽

    There needs to be a Option to stop other peoples tags from using my phones bluetooth and data but the only way to stop it is to turn off find my iphone. If I lose my iphone I should be able to find it because it has its own network and can send data on its own. But the Air tag is using everyones phone to connect to the network and send data to tell the owner where it is. It is leaching off everyones network data.

    I believe apple or any company should be transparent and for example offer us to turn on all settings in exchange for discount on icloud storage or someth. We basically volunteerily share data, if girls share pics for money on onlyfans, data is the unisex of that and shouldnt be given away so freely everywhere just because it is used to develop things doesnt mean it should be free. Google making us watch ads for example which they offer us based on their collected data on us and in the end companies pay google to make us watch them. We use the platform for free, in exchange for data, but this needs to stop and we the user should see benefits if we decide to share data, benefits apart from the service being free

    How naive; what makes you think that Apple would waste its time on a device that could be turned off. Try taking a picture of any number of questionable circumstances with an IOS updated device, and see just how quick your door bell rings. Then again, your door just may open without the use of its hinges lol. Life isn’t about what you want ... it’s all about what you weren’t expecting. You say you’re not worried, you’ve got nothing to hide, and then all of a sudden someone points a finger at you, and says “he doesn’t think the way we do”. I most likely won’t, but I’m pretty sure that you’ll live long enough to look in the mirror and notice that the smile you once had, has disappeared. Check if you don’t believe me, but every country in the world is either at war right now, or has recently, and is presently suffering from it.
