If I install something (tile?) on my android, will it help people find their airtags (and tiles)?

I'm happy to run it for fun but don't know what to run.

Tiles, yes. Airtags, no. Although Apple provides an Android app that will tell you if someone has placed an Airtag on you without your knowledge.

As far as I can find, Track Detect still doesn't automatically scan in the background, though? You'll have to run the app every time you suspect you're being tracked (which would mean "any time you leave from or return to somewhere" without background scans).

Airguard is an open source app that can detect both Tiles and Airtags in the background: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_t... Works quite well, has notified me of tags that are on a train with me quite a few times.

Do you have a link to that Android app? Can't find it and I suppose I ought to prevent the chance of my being tracked by someone for some reason.

That said, this abrogates most of the security functions of the tags, doesn't it?
