Apple and Google join forces to combat Bluetooth tracker misuse.

Apple and Google have proposed industry standards to combat the misuse of Bluetooth location-tracking devices for unwanted tracking. The draft specification includes best practices and instructions for Bluetooth tracker manufacturers on how to implement “unauthorized tracking detection and alerts” for iOS and Android. The proposal has received backing from Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, Anker's Eufy brand, and Pebblebee, as well as safety and advocacy groups. The companies plan to develop a production version of the specification by the end of the year, and future versions of iOS and Android will support the tech.
