It is possible that, even though you have an Android, you know the potential of AirTags, devices that, being very small, have a year or more of battery life, being able to track our position thanks to other Apple products.
If you have an iPhone, it is easy to know if someone is spying on you with one, because you will get a notification alerting you that an AirTag is near youand that it has been following you for a long time, so you could have it in your car, bag, etc., without knowing it. But how do we find out this with an Android that does not warn us?
Know if we have an AirTag nearby
Although Android and Google began tests to warn you despite not having an iPhone, these do not work on all devices, and we will not be able to depend on it to be sure, so we will have to turn to external tools to tell us. It is not so convenient, since it will have to be done manually, but if we doubt if someone has placed one on us, at least we can check it.
To do this, you will have to download the following application, which we will find in the Play Store for free, called “Tracker Detector” and for which we leave you the link below.
Once installed and started, we will only have to let it perform a scan, showing us, once finished, the number of nearby AirTags, which does not exactly mean that they are spying on us, as there may be some nearby by chance. What we will have to do is move about 50 meters, and perform the search again. If the same AirTag keeps appearing, we may become suspicious, and we will have to be vigilant.
If the AirTag is with us for more than 10 minutesthe application will allow us to play a sound, trying to locate it, and although we will not be able to deactivate it, it also tells us that if we find it, we should remove the cover and take out the battery, since that would be a way for it to turn off, although it will always We can stick it to a truck, and the spy will go crazy thinking that we are in a very different place.
The app has negative opinions, since It does not indicate where exactly the AirTag is locatedbut that is something impossible on Android, however, telling you that it is in Bluetooth range, especially if we are between walls, means that it will be a few meters away, so it will only be a matter of trying until you find it, like this how to use the sound that it allows us to reproduce to help us.
And you, have you ever had an AirTag nearby? These types of trackers are very useful, but also dangerous, since anyone could place one in our car, and know where we are at all times, something that threatens our privacy, so it is recommended, if you have an Android, to use Take a look at this app from time to time and check that no one is following you, although it is also a good way to know if the neighbor is already home, if he has one on his keys, something curious, right?
