iOS 15.2 lets you scan for sneaky AirTags that might be secretly tracking you
To help prevent unwarned AirTag tracking, iOS 15.2 lets you scan sneaky AirTags that might be planted on your person or in your car to secretly track you.
MacRumors notes, Apple has replaced the previous “Identify Found Item” link with a new one labeled “Help Return Lost Items”. Despite the name change, the feature works like before—you’d choose “Help Return Lost Items” in the Find My app on iOS 15.2 if you saw a notification saying that an unknown AirTag has been following you.
This could mean someone has planted an AirTag in your bag or in your car to track where you go. It could also mean that you’ve simply stumbled upon someone else’s AirTag or an AirTag not owned by you has been located within Bluetooth range.

Communication Safety could one day expand to third-party apps like Viber, WhatsApp, Messenger and others.
Other tweaks in iOS 15.2 include a reworked interface layout in the TV app, the appearance of a new Hide My Email option in the Mail app and other changes.

When will iOS 15.2’s new features arrive?
Well, Apple typically releases about half a dozen betas for a single iOS update, sometimes even more, before the software is ready for prime time.
We’re only in the second beta of iOS 15.1 so expect additional betas to release before the iOS 15.2 update appears on everyone’s iPhones.
