There are many people who are looking for a way to connect AirTag with their Android smartphone or tablet. Even though it is not possible to connect this Apple device to Android, still there is an app that can detect the AirTag tracker but cannot use it in all its functions. To take advantage of Apple’s wireless tracker features, you need an Apple ID and an iPhone or iPad (or iPod touch) running iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 or later. But, then, what is the new app for Android? In this article, we are going to explain how to use AirTag with your Android smartphone in detail below.
According to the latest statements from Apple, its AirTag tracking device will also be compatible with the Android system, but not in the same way. AirTag has a “Lost” mode that you can activate from your iPhone in case you can’t find it anymore.
If an AirTag in lost mode is found by someone else who owns an Android smartphone, they can put it on the back after enabling the NFC function and receive all the details on how to contact you.
This is only possible if Lost Mode is enabled, otherwise you don’t risk a stranger knowing your address and other contact details. Generally, Android users can’t use an AirTag, but will instead need to use competing products like the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag+ or Tile tracker.
Another way to use AirTag on Android is to download and install the Tracker Detect app, available on the Google Play Store. This app searches for trackers that get separated from their owner and that are compatible with Apple’s Find My network.
The app’s release notes indicate that Tracker Detect not only works with AirTag hardware but also detects devices from other companies, as long as they are compatible with Apple’s object tracking platform.
