Google has begun rolling out a new safety update for Android phones to inform users if a Bluetooth tracking device has been placed near or on them.
Gadgets like the Apple AirTag are meant to help people find lost items, but some bad actors have been misusing them as an inexpensive tool to stalk people. Although Google doesn’t sell its own Bluetooth tags, it teamed up with multiple corporations to tackle this problem, and this patch is the result of their labor.
