Some iPhone Users Are Getting Stalking Alerts for AirTags That Aren’t There

 In its efforts to prevent criminals from using AirTags for unwanted tracking, it seems that Apple may have gotten a bit overzealous and introduced some big bugs into the system. Some iPhone Users Are Getting Stalking Alerts for AirTags That Aren’t There. Even though Apple was the first company to even think of adding anti-stalking alerts to its location-tracking tags, the company got pilloried in the weeks following their release, accusing it of not doing enough to protect victims of domestic violence. While many of the criticisms were valid — it’s fair to say Apple probably should have consulted with some of these groups when AirTags was still in development — Apple also responded to the allegations pretty quickly.

This hidden feature of the iPhone allows you to make your own music videos

It wouldn't surprise us if you didn't know how to add music to a video on iPhone, as Apple has the feature well-hidden.
