Sweet Apple didn't bother to create a real time Airtag tracking android app. They have one, but it's manual so it's useless. Thankfully, The Secure Mobile Networking Lab (SEEMOO)of the Computer Science Department of Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany has created an app for it. It's FOSS and available on Google Play and Fdroid. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection.release https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_t... https://f-droid.org/packages/de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection https://f-droid.org/packages/de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection

Thanks! Just installed it and I have airtag but it didn't pick it up. Maybe it needs some time..

> If a tracker is detected at least 3 times and the locations have changed (to make sure its not your neighbour) the app sends you a notification. I'd like for it to report the stationary trackers as well. A ping from my neighbour is one thing, even a ping from a grocery store. But if I saw a repeated ping from an unremarkable street corner, I'm going to be suspicious. Even more so if there are multiple street corners. I like this though, > Version 1.0.6 - This version requires Android 8.0 or newer. > Version 1.1.1 - This version requires Android 5.0 or newer. :thumbsup:

  What's your worry about the static AirTag scenario?

    I'm not up to date on this stuff (or who you even asked), but I think that situation might be helpful for someone trying to figure out leaving/return patterns for a street/neighborhood

      An AirTag doesn't help with that - you're basically looking at a bluetooth beacon. All apple's devices randomly rotate wifi+bluetooth MAC addresses in order to prevent that. I have yet to understand how the stalker warning works :D
