Can other iPhones detect AirTags?

iPhones are able to detect if there is an AirTag (that doesn't belong to you), whether or not it is following you or not. However, if the person that owns the AirTag is with you, then it will not set off an alert because the parent device that is was set up with is near it.

However, there are a few exceptions carved out in the law. Unless there is a domestic violence protective order or other restraining order in place, hiding an AirTag in your car may be legal, so long as the car is titled or leased in your name or jointly with your spouse.

Pros: Fully encrypts location data end-to-end, which means only the tracker's owner can see an item's location. Allows you to enable location access on your device. Cons: Concerns about the potential for unwanted tracking or stalking using the AirTag.
