Replying to @MattAudibert
La majorité des utilisateurs Android ne bénéficiera probablement pas de cette mise à jour, ou avec beaucoup de retard (cf. politique de suivi des MÀJ selon les modèles et marques). En attendant @AirGuardAndroid fait très bien le travail depuis longtemps (gratuit et Open Source).

How many people are affected by stalking through Bluetooth trackers, like an AirTag? How can those people be protected better? We are trying to research this topic and we are doing an online survey about it. You can help by taking 10min to answer it survey.seemoo.tu-darmstadt.d…

Want to detect stalking attacks by AirTags and the Find My network? @Sn0wfreeze will present AirGuard for Android and compare it to Apple's TrackingAvoidance framework. Currently, Apple fails to warn users from stalking attempts that AirGuard can uncover, e.g., AirTags on cars.

Recently we updated AirGuard, because we realized that the update was crashing on most installations. We apologize for the inconveniences. We realize that this software can be crucial for many people and we want it to work reliably

I also spoke with one of the creators behind the Android app AirGuard, which detects nearby AirTags. The app is also being used for an optional study that could show how often AirTags are being misused cnet.com/tech/mobile/airtags…

AirTags Are Linked to Stalking, and Apple Can't Solve This Problem Alone - CNET

Apple needs to work with Google, Samsung, Tile and other rivals to find a fix, privacy experts say.

Hey @evacide We saw your Tweet on AirTags used for stalking. We have developed AirGuard to protect Android users against such attacks as well. This is part of a research project at @TUDarmstadt and completely free. play.google.com/console/u/0/…

Here we go! The newest version of AirGuard now integrates a risk card that shows you in one glance if you are being tracked or not! Green = No trackers found Orange = One tracker discovered, that followed you for less than 1 day Red = Trackers found on several days

Our design is inspired by the @coronawarnapp, which has done a great job to immediately show you if you are at risk of a Covid infection.
