Android users can now detect unknown AirTags

Google has started to alert Android users when they detect an unknown tracker nearby. This feature, which was announced last month, can help you find out if someone has planted an AirTag on you or your belongings. You can access this feature through Google Play services on any Android device running version 6.0 or higher. The caveat is it only works with AirTags and not other tracker types.

To enable unknown tracker alerts, head to the Settings app on your phone and look for the Safety and Emergency section. There, you will find a menu where you can turn on or off the alerts. If you have an older version of Android (11 or below), you will find this menu in the Personal Safety section instead. You can also just type in unknown tracker alerts in the Setting app's search function.
