Android may get its own built-in Bluetooth tracker detection
However, there are some issues with current detection methods on Android. Users would both need to be aware of the fact that Bluetooth trackers can be misused and have apps that can detect them installed on their device. The Apple and Tile apps also require users to scan for trackers manually, a process that can take around 10 minutes., the Android team has started work on a tracker detection feature in Play services.
The feature is said to be in early development and it'll likely be some time before Google releases it publicly . Having automatic detection built into the OS, or even a manual scanner with a warning to all users about the potential for stalking, would surely help protect users from being tracked. Hopefully, we'll learn more about Google's tracker detection plansAll products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
