Automatic Smart tag tracker detection in works for Android

Google is reportedly working on a feature that will allow your Android device to detect smart trackers in the nearest area. But people 9to5google saw functionality When decompling the play services APK. According to him, Google began working on the feature in this year's March. The capacity was integrated with Google Play services, which should enable availability for a wide range of Android phones.

Apple already has a “tracker detect” for Android that allows users to find nearby Airtags, while the tile has recently released a similar feature. Now, Google has planned to integrate tag-scanning facility in Android. Therefore, in the future, you will not need a separate app for this feature because functionality will be made in Android itself.

Google has not yet given any details about the feature, but the signal about it has been discovered in the latest version of Play Services (22.12.13). The disintegrated code clearly describes “unfamiliar device alert” and a “unfamiliar tag notification” for Bluetooth low energy (BLE) tag. In addition, it mentions three types of tags – tile tags, atag and finder tags. The first two are pointed to Apple's Airtag and tile tag, but we cannot say in terms of which Finder tag is in terms of.

As soon as your Android device detects an unknown tag/tracker, it will be able to ring and inform you about its appearance. This feature will be extremely useful in preventing trackers with you or any other person from keeping it with you. As mentioned earlier, both Apple and Tile have an Android app to detect an unknown smart tag with your phone. However, they require manual scanning and they are not so fast.
