“Unknown Accessory detected with you” Problem.

So i keep getting notifications on my phone that an accessory is detecting me and i dont know what it is ?! i also can’t disable the “accessory” because it says “unable to connect to server”, it’s not an airtag because we have none… so ?! is it just a glitch 🤨

Hello viragoo,

When you tap the alert, does it give you the option to view it on the map, play a sound, or learn more about the item? Check out the section "Use item safety alerts" in the user guide below to learn more:

If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services
