Apple releases new firmware update for AirTags

Bradley/Grombacher LLP has filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc. on behalf of a Louisiana woman who alleges an unknown person secretly tracked her movements for approximately two weeks with an Apple AirTag concealed inside her truck.

Apple has released a new firmware update (1.0.291) designed for the AirTag tracking devices.

As noted by MacRumors, you can’t force an AirTag update. It’s done over-the-air through a connected iPhone. To make sure the update happens, you can put your AirTag in range of your smartphone. However, you have to wait for the firmware to roll out to your device.
