Apple is pushing out a privacy-focused update for its AirTag tracker discs to prevent them from being used to track unsuspecting third-parties.

Now open up a tag, and you’ll notice there’s a line of text underneath its locations showing when it was last seen and the battery level.

Tap on that and it will show you the AirTag’s serial number and firmware. 1.0.225 is the old firmware, and 1.0.276 is the new firmware that replaces it.

To go back to the location information and battery level, tap it again.

It’s that simple.
