Apple Inc is going to introduce a new safety feature through its 'Find My' application. This means that now the location of iPhone users cannot be spied. The new feature will provide the user with information about any unknown tracking device that is sharing the user's location.

The new safety feature will be available in the beta version of iOS 14.5. 

The new feature will be found in the 'Item Safety Alerts' in the 'Me' tab of the 'Find My' application. The new feature will alert the user if an unknown item is using 'Find My' to track the location. This software will be smart enough to detect any tracking device that has been either slipped into a user's bag or even stuck to the car.

These alerts, however, can also be disabled through the app but the user will be notified that if they disable the alerts, they will not receive a popup when an unknown tracker has been detected.

The 'Item Safety Alerts' setting was found in early versions of iOS 14.3 but was removed until its reappearance in iOS 14.5.

The setting is enabled by default in the beta and Apple seems to want it to stay on. If users turn off the setting, then the system will warn them that unknown devices can see their location without them being notified.

This new feature will prevent notorious elements to misuse the new technology.
