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.
