Googlemight now be working on a native solution to protect against stalking by AirTags and similar tracking devices.

There are also specific strings referencing Tile tag and ATag, the latter presumably meaning AirTags.

Android may soon have built-in protection against AirTags stalking

AirTags arent inherently bad, nor is their hardware dramatically superior to similar devices.

Apple users are warned about nearby AirTags by default via multiple notifications, significantly minimizing theriskof long-term stalking.

Hopefully, automated tracker detection comes sooner rather than later.

Weve contacted Google for more information and will update this post if we hear back.
