Unknown tracker alerts are rolling out to Android devices
Google Blog
Starting today, Google will be rolling unknown tracker alerts to devices running Android 6.0 and later. As of now, this feature will only let you know if any Apple AirTags are tracking you with other tracker tags coming soon as a part of the joint specification.
Your device will automatically notify you if it determines that an unknown tracker is moving with you. After tapping on the notification you can
- see a map with the history of the tracker moving with you,
- play a sound without the owner knowing
Google also provides advice on what to do:
- contact someone you trust or the authorities
- save tracker information if it's marked as lost by tapping the tracker
- and instructions on how to physically disable the tracker
Located in the Settings under Safety & Emergency > Unknown tracker alerts > Scan Now, you'll also be able to manually scan for unknown trackers and list the ones around you.

Find My Device network and trackers delayed, due to Apple not being ...Ready For It?
9To5Google
Speaking of the Find My Device network, Google has announced that its launch will be delayed “until Apple has implemented protections for iOS.”
Later this summer, you'll be able to track your Pixel Buds (after an update), headphones by JBL and Sony, use Bluetooth trackers by Chipolo, Pebblebee and Tile using the Find My Device network.
Google has built the network with user privacy as a key priority with end-to-end encryption of the data which they cannot see or use. More information about the privacy safeguards will be revealed later.
