Apple launched the second-generation AirTag back in January, and now the tracker is receiving a firmware update. This takes the tracker’s firmware up to version 3.0.45.
It comes with the usual unnamed bug fixes and improvements, along with an update to the unwanted tracking feature (aka anti-stalking). The unwanted tracking sound is now updated in order to more easily be able to locate an unknown AirTag with Precision Finding.
Basically, if you’re being stalked with an AirTag, you’ll receive a notification on your iPhone saying an unknown AirTag has been traveling with you, and you then have the option to start Precision Finding to locate it and have it make a noise so it’s easier to discover. That noise should now be more prominent, thus helping in this process.
The new firmware is automatically installed, there’s nothing you need to do. To see if you already have it, go to the Find My app and check your AirTag’s firmware version.
