Apple’s AirTags are small, round Bluetooth key finders. They can be tracked around the world because they can quietly connect to nearby iPhones and thus communicate their location. Useful for lost or stolen things that can be found by the owner.
The principle of the AirTags explains:
Protection against Apple AirTags: Apple introduces Tracker Detect for Android
However if AirTags can be misused, they become a kind of bug for stalkers and, more recently, car thieves. Simply hide an AirTag with the “victim” and you can find out where you are. Anyone who owns an iPhone is protected against such attacks, because the small AirTag reports after a certain time and thus reveals its presence. If necessary, the little culprit can then be deactivated, for example by removing the battery. Android users have so far been defenseless, they do not receive any such information.
For this reason Apple now released the free Android app “Tracker Detect”. With this, AirTags can be found and made harmless by Apple providing tips on deactivation at the same time. So if you want to protect yourself from unwanted tracking by AirTags, you should definitely install the app. Important to know: The system requirement should be at least Android 9 or higher, with just under 19 MB, the space requirement is, as expected, low.
