12.4.2.3 How To Use Tracker Detect For Android

Before you can start scanning for nearby AirTag trackers and other find My-compatible devices, the first thing you will need to do is download Tracker Detect on your Android device. It is free on Google Play. Here is how to use it to find nearby trackers once you have gotten it installed.  Open Tracker Detect .  Tap Scan . If no trackers are found, try moving around to ensure you are within Bluetooth range.  Tap on any AirTag or Find My-enabled tracker the app finds.  From here, you can tap on Play Sound to make the tracker ping to help find it. While Apple's Tracker Detect for Android does not work exactly like Find My, nor is it opening up AirTag to Android users, it is one way Apple is implementing anti-stalking safety measures and could prove useful for some Android phone owners. If you would prefer something automatic, try AirGuard 199 . This will periodically scan for stray AirTags, and it works on older devices up to Android 5.0. It can also detect trackers by other companies such as Tile.
