Does anyone know what this is? I got about 10 of these notifications, all hitting at the same time.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
It’s to let you know that an AirTag is near you for a while. It’s a security feature in case someone is tracking you without your knowledge.
What I don’t understand is that I just received hundred of the same notification at the same time.
In my case, it was because I put my iPhone in the same pocket as the AirTag with the top end touching the AirTag on my keychain. The sensor area on the top of the phone must have touched the NFC code area on the white side of the tag, which is the documented way to read the code on a random tag you find to find out whose it is.
I confess it took two chats with Apple Support and some manual testing to assure myself that this is what happened. It is completely reproducible, just hard to track down if you discover the messages in your notifications later.
