Google has announced that unknown tracker alerts are starting to roll out to devices running Android 6 or later, but it’s delaying the launch of its full Find My Device network until Apple implements similar protections for iOS.
Once the update has gone live your Android device will automatically warn you when it detects unknown Bluetooth trackers (which are separated from their owner) have been following you. What’s more, it’ll be able to show you a map of where the tracker has traveled with you – so you can see where you might have picked it up from – and you can use the ‘Play Sound’ button to force the tracker to make a noise so that you can find it more easily.
