    It’s a tracker like an Apple Airtag, which basically just needs a compatible phone in range (I guess about 10 metres).

    Apple made it so any iphone can detect this without any user interaction or setup. If the iphone detects a nearby tracker, it will just send the location to the user the tracker is registered to.

    I don’t use an iphone, but I’m fairly sure that’s how it works. Not even sure if it can be disabled. Android has similar things, but they usually require an app to be installed.
