Apple and Google have submitted a proposed industry specification to combat the misuse of Bluetooth item trackers for unwanted tracking of individuals. The companies plan to expand AirTag-like unwanted tracking alerts to third-party item trackers in future versions of iOS and Android. Tile, Chipolo, Samsung, Eufy, and Pebblebee have expressed support for the draft specification. The specification will be subject to a comment period over the next three months and will be released by the end of 2023.
