SAN FRANCISCO: Bluetooth trackers, the coin-sized tags that have emerged as the ideal tool for finding lost items (as well as stalking people), are set to get a new standard developed by Google and Apple in order to prevent unwanted tracking. The two IT giants, whose smartphone operating systems have made tracking tags possible, have collaborated on a new industry standard for the Android and iOS mobile platforms, the two companies announced at the start of May. The standard is set to support major trackers such as Apple's AirTags, Samsung's Smart Tags, Tile, Chipolo, Eufy Security and Pebblebee.
