Tracker Detect

Tracker Detect is a privacy-focused app developed by Apple, designed to help users locate and detect unknown AirTags or other Find My-compatible trackers that may be used to track their location without their knowledge. This app is particularly useful for Android users who want to ensure that they are not being tracked using Apple’s AirTag or other similar devices in the Find My network. Tracker Detect scans the area for any AirTags or similar trackers that are not registered to the user’s Apple ID and alerts them if an unknown device is detected nearby. The app is simple to use and provides a vital layer of privacy and security for individuals concerned about being tracked without their consent. If an unknown AirTag is detected, the app allows users to view details about the tracker and receive instructions on how to disable or remove it to prevent further tracking. Tracker Detect ensures that users can protect their privacy by being aware of any potential tracking devices near them, even if they don’t own an Apple device.

This may involve removing the battery from the AirTag or following other instructions specific to the device.
