Google are rolling out an update for all Android 6+ devices that will alert you if an unknown tracking device is following you. The feature was announced back at Google's I/O event and currently only works with Apple's AirTags. It's a custom solution and not based off the joint Apple-Google tag specification which is yet to be finalised. If you find a rogue AirTag, your Android device will be able to read some basic info from it, which may include the owner's name or last few digits of their phone number, depending on how it was setup. Along with this Google announced they'll be delaying their own "Find My Device" network plans, wanting to wait until the joint spec was completed and then give Apple the opportunity to implement it in iOS.
