The new iPhone feature lets anyone steal your exact movements

APPLE is working on a new feature for its Find My app that lets you know when someone is watching you.

The setting is called “Article Security Alerts” and tells a user or an unknown device traveling with them to be detected on Find My.

Something I have not considered before: new beta includes an article security setting in Find My. This is how Apple tries to prevent ‘chase’ with AirTags. If someone hides a label in your belongings, your phone will notice and warn you about it. pic.twitter.com/NVJyAZlthw

This feature allows you to deactivate the suspicious device.

It is thought that the ‘unknown device’ may refer to rumored AirTag products that Apple has not yet announced.

Allegedly, AirTags are counterfeit devices that you can attach to items that you frequently lose, and then use your phone to find them.

However, there have been concerns that such a device could be used to stalk and detect a person if you connect an AirTag to it without them knowing.

The possible security feature to stop this issue was noted in the beta version of iOS 14.5.

The setting is allegedly enabled by default in the test version of the Apple software.

You can turn off the setting, but you will get a warning about unknown devices that can see your location without your knowledge.

Apple blogger Benjamin Mayo tweeted: “Something I have not considered before: new beta includes an article security setting in Find My.

“This is how Apple tries to prevent ‘stalking’ with AirTags.

“If someone secretly hides a label in your belongings, your phone will notice and warn you about it.”

Mayo and other Apple fans think the feature means AirTags could be on the way.

However, Apple can only create the security feature to protect people from the detection of devices that can already be found with the Find My app.

These include iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches.

As with all Apple rumors and features tested in beta, we can not be sure that the feature or the long-awaited AirTags on the market will come to the official word of Apple.

iPhone tricks to try today

Here are some of the best …

Tikwyser – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad so you can move words and sentences more easily
Close all Safari tabs – To do this at once, hold the overlapping squares in the right-hand corner and press all the tabs closed
Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold a photo and then drag your finger diagonally to Photos to select multiple images at once, then press delete

See if you can upgrade the battery – Batteries in smartphones degenerate over time. Just go to Settings> Battery> Battery Health and look for the maximum capacity reading. Generally, a battery is considered worn if you have up to 80% capacity. If you are less, you can buy a battery exchange from Apple
Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts to wrap, then tap (while still holding) on other apps so that it stacks so you can move around more easily
