AirTag Tracker: Scan & Detect helps you reveal and locate nearby Bluetooth trackers such as Apple AirTag, Samsung SmartTag, Tile, and Chipolo. Scan for active signals, see proximity with a real-time indicator, and review where detections happened.
When a tracker appears to move with you, the app can alert you so you can react quickly. It is a practical tool for privacy, awareness, and peace of mind.
Move around and watch the signal strength change — stronger means closer. No internet is required for scanning, which makes it a fast and private way to search for hidden or misplaced trackers.
The app requires no account and works directly on your device. If you grant Background Location, it is used only to save detection history on your private map, and you can revoke permissions at any time.

Frequently asked questions
Can Android detect an AirTag?
Yes. Android phones can detect nearby AirTags when they are broadcasting a Bluetooth signal. AirTag Tracker: Scan & Detect scans for nearby Bluetooth trackers and helps you identify AirTags, SmartTags, Tile, Chipolo, and similar devices around you.
Can Android track an AirTag globally like an iPhone?
No. Android does not have access to Apple's global Find My network for AirTags. On Android, you can detect and locate an AirTag only when it is physically nearby and broadcasting over Bluetooth.
How does AirTag Tracker detect unwanted tracking?
The app uses Bluetooth to scan for nearby devices that may be moving with you, checks detection history across multiple places, and can send a notification when potential tracking is detected.
Does AirTag Tracker work without internet?
Yes. Bluetooth scanning works without an internet connection. Features that use maps, such as viewing map tiles or opening directions, may require internet access.
Which trackers can the app detect?
AirTag Tracker: Scan & Detect is designed to find common Bluetooth trackers, including Apple AirTag, Samsung SmartTag, Tile, Chipolo, and other nearby Bluetooth tracking devices.
Does the app store my tracking data online?
No account is required, and scanning works directly on your device. If you allow location access, detection history is stored locally on your device and shown in your private map history.
What should I do if I find an unknown AirTag nearby?
Use the signal strength view to locate the tracker, scan it with NFC to view its serial number if possible, disable it by removing the battery, and take the device to the police or appropriate authorities. If the signal is no longer detected, check the map to see where and when it was last seen.
How can I disable a found tracker?
For an AirTag, press and twist the back cover counter-clockwise, then remove the cover and battery. For a Samsung SmartTag, gently pry off the back cover with a small tool and remove the battery. Some Tile and similar tags have non-replaceable batteries; if you cannot open the tracker, wrap it in foil or place it in a Faraday bag to block the signal.
