MacRumors reader David Chu today alerted us that the hidden "Items" tab in the Find My app can be enabled on an iPhone or iPad by typing in the link findmy://items in Safari on devices running iOS 14.3 or iPadOS 14.3 or later. After entering the URL, a prompt appears that directs users to the hidden tab in the Find My app.
Users can also enter the URL in Safari on macOS 11.1 and view the hidden "Items" text in the Find My app on a Mac.
While the URL is more convenient and works for anyone, registered Apple developers can also enable the "Items" tab on an iPhone under Settings > Developer > Display Items Tab. This toggle appears on iOS 14.3 and later.
Similar to Tile, AirTags are expected to help users keep track of their personal belongings, such as their keys, wallets, and backpacks, with users receiving a push notification on their Apple devices when they are separated from a tagged item. AirTags are expected to support Ultra Wideband for improved location accuracy, with helpful augmented reality functionality through the Find My app for locating misplaced items.
Apple accidentally referenced AirTags in a YouTube video last April, so we know this accessory is the real deal, but an exact release date still remains up in the air. Apple typically holds its first event of a year in March, but with in-person events not being hosted any time soon, a virtual event or press release is possible at any time.

But. I still wonder. How is this not going to cause massive privacy concerns and dramatic relationship troubles with people shoving these tags in everyone's bag they want to spy on... It seems highly unethical to sell a super small surveillance device to the masses.
Lol this argument still? News flash: There’s plenty of other tiny trackers on the market already. With some of them being actual gps based.
Anyone can already track you by throwing a $50 android phone into your bag/car etc.
I can get some decent GPS 3/4G tracker on eBay for $50.
If someone wants to track you, they haven’t been waiting for Apple to release a product to do it.
