AirGuard – Free and Open Source Android app lets users detect Apple AirTag tracking

https://bit.ly/3JR3Dmi

A small team of researchers at the Darmstadt University in Germany have published a report illustrating how their AirGuard app for Android provides better protection from stealthy AirTag stalking than other apps. In summary, their approach was found to be superior to the iOS system, let alone Apple’s own anti-tracking app for Android.

Apart from serving the tracking warnings faster, AirGuard can also detect trackers placed on cars, which is the most difficult for other solutions to unearth, and the best tracker placement option for malicious actors. It can detect all Find My devices, including self-made ones like the cloned or modified AirTags, as the ultimate stealthy tracking tool.
