My AirTag appearing on friends’ phone (airTag Moving with you?)

[c2500]

The other day I spent the day in a park with some friends, and after some hours, they all start getting the message “ there is an AirTag moving with you”( four friends)
They clicked to look for the AirTag, and was mine beeping in my pocket (My IPhone was also with me)
I was a bit worried, when for example I go to a place with people or agglomeration or even sitting close to me on airplane, are they all gonna get this message? Can the other person block my AirTag? Has anyone experienced this?

Did you have your phone with you?

Did all of you use Android phones? I have never heard of similar experiences using Airtags connected to iPhones. I encourage you to contact Apple Support as soon as possible. They will surely help you. Good luck finding a solution to this scary and unusual experience.

Happened to me too with my girlfriend. I have an airbag in my glovebox and one one my car keys. She has an iPhone. We took a drive. when we came back, she got an alert that there was an airbag moving with her and she thought I had planted one on her!

Did you have your bluetooth turned off or your phone in Airplane mode?

That does raise a good point - a lot of people do put their phones in Airplane mode to comply with Airline requests - there's good likelihood that AirTags could cause similar alerts on planes for those around you that haven't done so if you have.

I didn't. Nothing changed. Still happening. Walk up to the airtags while home with my iPhone, they still show up in find my iPhone as with me, and the beeping goes off.

Yep - you need to report this. If you don't have feedback assistant on your iPhone, you can use the web page (they still don't have a category up for AirTags):
