While the Apple AirTags aren't necessarily a new concept, they are making some pretty serious waves in the tech space. Shortly after the initial announcement, we figured out that Apple is limiting what you can and can't get engraved on them.

Now, in an interview with Fast Company, Apple executives spoke a bit more about the devices, including what the company intends them to be used for and how secure they are.

AirTags Aren't For Pets or Children

At $29, it's easy to imagine all sorts of use cases for AirTags if you're invested in the Apple ecosystem. However, Apple doesn't intend the devices to be used for tracking living creatures such as children and pets.

When asked by Fast Company whether it would be a good idea to attach an AirTag to a child when on an outing, Kaiann Drance, Apple’s VP of worldwide iPhone product marketing was quick to say that AirTags are designed to track items, not people or pets.

That's not to say that you can't clip one to your child, but Apple says you're better off using an Apple Watch with Family Setup.

When grilled a little more, Drance spoke about pets and said, "If people do that, they just have to make sure that their moving pet gets into range of a device in the Find My network."

AirTags Are Stalker-Proof

Most importantly, Apple says the AirTags are secure. Apple's Senior Director of sensing and connectivity, Ron Huang spoke about the security of the devices, and he said, "If you lose your AirTag, somebody can’t just pick up your AirTag, re-pair it with their iPhone, and continue using it."

But it goes further than that, as AirTags will let you know that a device has been placed on you without your permission. "You’ll see that we designed for the privacy of AirTag owners and nonowners, as well as making these benefits opened up to third-party products as well," said Drance.

If you have an iPhone, you'll receive a notification that there's a device following you, which prevents someone from dropping one in your bag or in a pocket without you noticing.

Non-iPhone users are protected as well. After an AirTag has been away from its paired phone for a certain amount of time (three days at this point, though that could change with an update), the tracker will start emitting a sound, letting you know that it's there.

If you find an unauthorized AirTag on your person, you can scan it with an NFC-capable phone. Once scanned, you'll be taken to the Apple website with instructions on disabling the AirTag and its tracking capabilities immediately.
