Apple has deployed a new firmware update for the AirTag 2, giving a significant update to an anti-stalking feature.
The second-generation AirTag debuted in January 2026. Relative to its predecessor, the AirTag 2 offers more precise tracking from a longer range, a louder speaker with a bigger speaker coil, a thinner motherboard, and enhanced security features.
The iPhone maker continues to improve the security capabilities of its second-generation AirTag, with Monday's firmware update offering a noteworthy change to the device's anti-stalking feature.
To be more specific, Apple's release notes say the company has "updated the unwanted tracking sound to more easily locate an unknown AirTag during Precision Finding."
Monday's firmware update increases the version to 3.0.45, up from 3.0.41, while also delivering bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
The 3.0.45 firmware update is automatically installed, and is available for all AirTag 2 users. You can check your AirTag firmware version using the Find My app, and the process is straightforward.
