Android phones have began to automatically warn users about Airtags following them. Once located, an Android user can make an airtag make a sound to locate it.
Prior to this update, it was possible to detect airtag stalking only by running a third-party app, and even then it only worked while the app was actively scanning.
This should help prevent stalking of Android users, but also creates false positives if Android users use airtags in their bags or luggage.
