This is a situation that increasingly alerts and especially women. Indeed, for some time, sexual predators have become followers of a new practice. Place AirTags in a person’s belongings to obtain their geolocation and find out where they live. Diana and Morgane, friends in everyday life, were victims and came to testify this Wednesday, June 14 on “TPMP”.
“When it happened, I was coming back from the gym and I pass by a park. There, Morgane calls me and to pass the time of the call I sit on a bench in the park, and there he There’s a man approaching me. He’s going to bend over to see my face under my cap… It’s the first contact I’ve had with him.”Diana explains to Cyril Hanouna before Morgane cuts her off: “We were lucky because we had iPhones and we got a notification, everyone who doesn’t have one can’t get notifications…”

Your iPhone sends a notification when in proximity to an AirTag
Indeed, when your iPhone detects an AirTag nearby, whether it belongs to you or not, your Apple phone will notify you with a notification. And that is precisely what saved the two young women. “The second contact is clearly an excuse. He arrives to ask me the time when he had the phone in his hands…”continues Diana before discussing the third contact: “He comes up behind me and asks me if everything is fine and if I need anything. I tell him no and tell myself that it’s time to leave”.
While alone with the Predator in the park at 9 p.m., Diana returns home. “As soon as I arrive, I don’t even have time to close the door that I receive a notification […] I press, it’s hyper-scary, it’s hyper-anxious, we arrive on a page of the Locate application, and I see written “the owner of this AirTag can see your location in real time. There, I’m totally panicking”she remembers, still shocked by the situation.
Diana found her predator at the bottom of her building
Unable to find the object, she returns to the “Locate” application and discovers that she can ask to make a sound. This allows him to find the AirTag and the “throw from the thirteenth floor”. “But the localization is still relevant even if we break it, thanks to the last localization point”she laments before asking her brother to go down the building in her place.
Once there, his brother calls him to make him a terrible announcement: “He tells me that there is a man who resembles word for word the description I gave him”. According to Diana, her brother would have demanded an explanation from the predator and the two would have fought. The young woman is now shocked and has not yet been able to return to the gym.
