Apple announced that it had launched an Android app to help users scan AirTags and other similar trackers that might be travelling with them without their knowledge. The app will help to increase privacy.

The Tracker Detect app, released on Google Play Store, says that users can scan to find AirTags or compatible devices if they think that someone is using it to track their location. AirTags are small devices that can be attached to items like keys and wallets to find them when they are lost.

Apple said the app lets users scan the item trackers that are no longer with them. If such a tracker moves with the user for over 10 minutes, the app will locate it by playing a sound and giving guidance to disable it.
