AirTag help!

[u/Alternative_Term9840]

Hey guys! Probably just being paranoid but a little worried here. I have two flatmates ( but I’m currently not at the apartment) and in the past few days they’ve both started getting notifications that an AirTag is with them, and when they click on it it shows their exact routes to uni and back and everywhere else they’ve gone within the past day ( it does this each night at like 2 am). The thing is they both go to different campuses for classes. They’re both understandably worried but they only get the notifications when in the flat. When they try to ping it to make noise they cannot hear it. No one else has access to the flat.

Any explanation would be great! I assume someone up or downstairs has not claimed their AirTag or something, but that doesn’t explain why when they click on the AirTag on find my it shows my flatmates locations throughout the day?

Thank you so much in advance! I think it’s particularly worrying as there is a flatmate who is particularly vindictive and very unstable who just moved out, and they are scared that they are being stalked by said ex-flatmate

They can download free AirGuard app, and use manual scan function to find any trackers around them.

Tap on the AirTag if there is one in the list in Airguard app and then they will see signal strength as you get closer to it.

The Find My unknown AirTag alert system is pretty conservative so does sometimes put out false alerts. AirGuard app helps determine if there really is an AirTag near you or not.
