Android users can now detect AirTags with new Tracker Detect app

Android users can now detect AirTags tracking them with the Tracker Detect app, available for free on the Google Play Store. This app scans for nearby AirTags that have been separated from their owner for at least 15 minutes. If an AirTag is found, users can play a sound to locate it. The app also provides the serial number for potential reporting to authorities. Users can disable the AirTag by removing its battery, but this will notify the owner. Previously, Android users lacked a built-in feature for AirTag detection, unlike iPhone users. Google has since introduced its Find My Device network, enhancing tracking detection options for Android users.
