科技巨頭蘋果公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL）和Alphabet Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOGL）正在合作支持跨操作系統識別有害藍牙跟蹤設備的警報。
What Happened: The announcement details operating system-level support for unwanted tracker notifications across Apple and Android devices with iOS 17.5 and Android 6.0+.
發生了什麼：該公告詳細介紹了在裝有iOS 17.5和安卓6.0+的蘋果和安卓設備上對有害跟蹤器通知的操作系統級支持。
Users will receive an "Item Found Moving With You" alert if the device detects a Bluetooth device moving with them over time. Competitors Chipolo, Anker, Jio, Motorola, and Pebblebee have pledged to offer similar support on future devices.
如果設備在一段時間內檢測到藍牙設備隨之移動，用戶將收到 “發現物品隨你一起移動” 警報。競爭對手Chipolo、Anker、Jio、摩托羅拉和Pebblebee已承諾爲未來的設備提供類似的支持。
Why it Matters: The popularity of devices such as the AirTag propelled Bluetooth tracking devices to become a billion-dollar industry.
爲何重要：AirTag等設備的普及推動藍牙跟蹤設備成爲一個價值十億美元的行業。
The intended purpose of Bluetooth trackers is to easily locate personal items. In January 2023, AirTags were found among the belongings of third parties, ostensibly as a means of stalking by malicious actors.
藍牙追蹤器的預期目的是輕鬆找到個人物品。2023年1月，在第三方的物品中發現了AirTags，表面上是惡意行爲者跟蹤的一種手段。
Infrastructure was in place for Apple users to be alerted that an AirTag was traveling with them. But the same support was not provided for Android users.
基礎設施已經到位，可以提醒蘋果用戶隨身攜帶AirTag。但是沒有爲安卓用戶提供同樣的支持。
In May 2023, iPhone maker Apple and Google's parent company, Alphabet, announced an initiative to provide cross-platform support for unwanted device recognition.
2023年5月，iPhone製造商蘋果和谷歌的母公司Alphabet宣佈了一項爲有害設備識別提供跨平台支持的計劃。
Apple launched the app Tracker Detect for Android users to detect malicious tracking activity. The app received poor reviews. Users cited several flaws (i.e., a lack of operating system-level support) on the platform.
蘋果爲安卓用戶推出了跟蹤器檢測應用程序，用於檢測惡意跟蹤活動。該應用程序收到了差評。用戶列舉了該平台上的幾個缺陷（即缺乏操作系統級支持）。
