They put out an android app that will notify people of AirTags not that long after they first came out, so they already have. But, as is kinda obvious, not so many people know about it.
The pixels seem to have it by default. I don't have the Apple app, but my phone will tell me the airtag on my keys was following me. It's pointless though, because it shows up a couple hours after the fact.
That's not pointless at all. Stalking is typically an ongoing activity.
Fair point. I still feel that it could be better. I'm seeing that I can go to work, be there all day, and come home, and only receive the notification late evening. I'd prefer it to be faster for the sake of those affected by actual stalking.
