The app is called Tracker Detect, however, it only lets users manually scan for Apple AirTags, rather than constantly do scans in the background and alert you if it finds anything.

, which promises to let Android users “find potentially malicious trackers being used without their knowledge”. It was expected to offer features offered for iOS users, which will let you know if a suspicious AirTag is following you around even if you don’t manually search for it.

Tracker Detect also doesn’t help Android users actually use AirTags, as it doesn’t help you keep track of the AirTags attached to an Apple account. This just means that Tracker Detect is just… an app to detect a tracker—nothing more.compatible with Apple’s Find My network, within your cellphone’s Bluetooth range. You can’t, however, activate the AirTag through the app.

While it’s a good thing that Android users finally have an app to detect AirTags, having them be manually detected still isn’t as convenient as I would like. Users might not remember to check for rogue AirTags as often, or at all. This might be dangerous, especially if you’re always on-the-go. For example, Apple AirTags are reportedlyto track and steal vehicles. AirTags are “placed in out-of-sight areas of the target vehicles when they are parked in public places like malls or parking lots”—so these situations might not be convenient for you to constantly and manually scan for AirTags.
