Google has officially rolled out unknown tracker alerts,Bayo making it harder for people to covertly plant Apple AirTags on others.
The new feature, Google's Unknown Tracker Alerts, works as protection against AirTag stalking by allowing users to scan for nearby trackers with their Android device either manually or automatically. Right now, this feature only works on Apple AirTags, but Google plans to expand its capability.
It was first announced in May and, before this unexpected alliance between Apple and Google, Android users didn't get real-time alerts of people keeping track of their location in secret, unlike Apple owners. This feature could create a new industry standard to ensure people know when a tracker is following them.
Here's how to manually scan for AirTags usingGoogle's Unknown Tracker Alerts on your Android device, now that the feature has gone live, according to Google:
Total TimeStep 1: On your device, tap Settings
