Now, it looks like Google could be doing the same with tracker detection built right into Android.<\/p>\n<p>In Apple\u2019s latest iOS 15.4 update, the company addressed several potential issues and privacy problems with AirTags, but that doesn\u2019t do any good for those that use an Android phone. However, the company did release a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.apple.trackerdetect&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">Tracker Detect Android app<\/a> that allows users to scan for AirTags nearby. It doesn\u2019t work very well and only finds a device if the user manually starts a scan. Obviously, that\u2019s not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2022\/03\/29\/android-bluetooth-tracker-detection\/\"><em>9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, who dug through code in upcoming updates, there is evidence that Google aims to fix Apple\u2019s AirTag stalking problem on Android. The site found several code references to \u201cUnfamiliar device alerts\u201d and \u201cUnfamiliar Tag Detected Notification\u201d built into Android, meaning users won\u2019t have to download an app to scan for lost or mischievously placed trackers.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, digging through the latest Google Play Services apk they spotted mentions that the above notifications will search for \u201cTile tag\u201d and \u201cATag\u201d devices. Or, essentially, search for and find nearby Apple AirTags and Tile Bluetooth trackers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Android being able to send an alert or notification if it finds an AirTag nearby, another string of code suggests Android users could be able to make the tag ring. This way, it\u2019s easier to find lost or ill-placed tracker tags.<\/p>\n<p>With how easy it is to track someone without them knowing by throwing an AirTag in a purse, backpack, or car, this would be a very welcome change to Android. And since Google\u2019s building this right into Google Play Services, it\u2019d be available for almost all smartphones without needing a bigger software update.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth stating that this information isn\u2019t confirmed by Google and instead comes from evidence that suggests the feature is on the way. We also don\u2019t know if Google is working with Apple, Samsung, and Tile on the detection service or simply doing it themselves. Either way, we hope this feature arrives soon.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2022\/03\/29\/android-bluetooth-tracker-detection\/\">9to5Google<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
