Have you seen Apple’s new AirTags to track where your stuff is? We can see them being handy on suitcases, keys and all sorts of things. Will you get any?

Here's a quick breakdown.
Should I buy an Apple AirTag?
Sure, if you:

Want clear directions to misplaced items
The Precision Finding feature makes it far easier to locate misplaced items than just listening for the sound of the AirTag, thanks to the on-screen directions and distance countdown, and it’s currently the only location tracker on the market that offers such a feature

Are concerned about privacy
Apple has embedded several privacy features into AirTags to ensure they can’t be misused; from having your iPhone or iPad alert you if an unknown AirTag is travelling around with you, to ensuring that you can’t set up an AirTag on behalf of anyone else.

Soon, Microsoft Teams will join other video conferencing platforms (such as Zoom) in automatically recording all meetings from the start of a call, a function that has been strangely absent until now.

You can now choose whether to let apps track you in iPhone’s iOS 14.5. And only 13% of people have said “yes."  Apple's app tracking transparency tool (ATT) makes apps seek permission from users before tracking their data across other apps or websites usually for advertising purposes.

We love Teams, but it can be tricky to share files in meetings, can’t it? Lucky for us, Microsoft is making it a smoother process!

Here's a few key things to know:

Currently released for the Microsoft Teams desktop app now for users  on Windows 10 and macOS only
Update gives users a better UI when sharing their screen and content during  a conference call
Change in where the share tray is located, which is now housed at the top menu so it’s much easier for users  to access any files when needed
Change also brings the PowerPoint Live feature to this share tray as well, alongside the option to display a certain window when screen-sharing
If you have multiple monitors, you can also allow Teams to share just one screen, and there’s also the option to include your local PC sounds
The update is rolling out now, which you can manually check by going to your Microsoft Teams profile picture, then About > Check Updates.
