On Android, the function of detecting foreign geotags that can be used for illegal surveillance has been launched, socialbites.ca is convinced. The novelty is activated, including in Russia.
Previously, Google and Apple had joined forces to combat covert surveillance of Android and iOS users using Bluetooth trackers like AirTag. Now, Google has launched a new feature for devices running Android 6.0 and higher that alerts users to the presence of unknown trackers nearby that are not connected to their smartphones.
socialbites.ca reporter discovered a novelty in a Realme smartphone running Android 13. At the same time, the tag detection functionality has not yet appeared on Xiaomi, Samsung or even Google branded smartphones, the Pixel 6 and the current Pixel 7. Owners of these and other devices can expect their release in the near future.
You can check whether the “Alerts for unknown viewers” feature is available in the “Settings” section of the “Security and emergencies” section. It is enabled by default and automatically warns of possible surveillance if the smartphone detects that the tracker is moving behind the user. By clicking on the notification, the user will be able to see a map with where the viewer is following him and turn on the audio signal in the tracker to detect it. In addition, the user will be able to completely disable the transmission of data about the location of the tracker.
In addition, users can check the environment in manual mode, which takes about 10 seconds.
