prevent them from following you

The reality of AirTags is that it forces Android users to install an anti-tracking app from a company you can’t have any relationship with if you don’t own one of their devices. Anyway, we are going to show you three applications to detect that you have an AirTag nearby and thus search for it.

Why should I use this app on my Android phone if I’m not using anything from Apple?

The fact is that an iPhone already has in its iOS system the ability to identify and detect AirTags that are nearby and do not belong to the owner. It does it in the background to alert the user that there is an AirTag nearby that is not theirs. This way it is prevented from being used fraudulently.

Well, we already know that it’s an AirTag, like those of Samsung, a small device that if you put it on a key ring or in a wallet, we will always have the possibility of finding it easily by its geoposition.

The problem is that Android doesn’t have this background recognition capability for obvious reasons, as Apple doesn’t paint anything here, so the same thing launched an app on Google Play so that any user with an Android mobile can scan an AirTag.

Ultimately, what Apple forces the installation of some of these applications to prevent any AirTag user from following you. Seeing is believing.

Tracker detection

The Apple app which can be downloaded here in the Google Play Store so you can scan the space for a few minutes Where are you.

You give it to start and will use Bluetooth to search for a nearby AirTag. If it finds one, it will let you know and you can play a sound to find it. It is a very simple app that does not run in the background.

AirGuard

The best thing about this app which can be downloaded from F-Droid repository is that it can stay in the background when searching every certain period of time. This will allow us to receive a notification if you find an Apple AirTag nearby.

When it finds an AirTag, you can play a sound in order to quickly find where this tracker is and take action on it. It uses Bluetooth and it’s the app we recommend, although with Apple’s previous one using it at home or where you can figure out they’ve been able to locate an AirTag, it’s also very useful.

Tracker Detect Pro

We are in front of a page premium app which performs the same task as the previous one, although the difference is that you can download it from the Google Play Store.

You can make a sound when it finds an AirTag. It even marks the distance you can therefore search for this tracking device thanks to the operation in the background that differentiates it, like the previous one, from the one published by Apple in the Google store.
