Apple has released an updated safety guide for AirTags amid ongoing concerns over the company’s AirTag devices

Apple has released a new safety portal targeted towards users of AirTags.

Apple’s new Personal User Safety Guide offers advice on how people can keep themselves and their data safe.

AirTags are designed to locate lost items using Apple’s powerful ‘Find My’ network

They are small button-shaped items that can be attached to keys or a wallet.

However and other outlets have previously found evidence that AirTags have been misused to track people.

Apple’s new Personal User Safety Guide offers support for people who are “concerned about or experiencing technology-enabled abuse, stalking or harassment”

The guide says it offers “step-by-step” instructions on how users can protect themselves.

Its AirTags section shows users what to do if they are alerted to an unwanted AirTag – a notification that appears on the screen of an iPhone.

The new guide also highlights what to do if you hear or find an AirTag that doesn’t belong to you.

The guide shows Android users how they can download an app that will help alert users to rogue AirTags.

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.

Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.

On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.

Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.

The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
