Apple AirTags hands on: The impressive trackers are getting an Android app

This story is part of Apple Event, our full coverage of the latest news from Apple headquarters. An Apple AirTag is a tiny Bluetooth tracker called that attaches to an object like your keys (with the help of a separately sold case) and can be located using Apple's Find My network with an app on the iPhone, Mac or iPad. It offers a level of security and privacy unmatched by other Bluetooth trackers. Apple include alerts to notify a person if an unknown AirTag is traveling with them. But some journalists and posts on social media suggest that those unwanted tracking deterrents didn't go far enough. On Thursday, Apple said it would update the time it take an AirTag to play an alert once it's separated from its owner. Apple is working on an Android that will be released later this year to help Android phone users "detect" if a stranger's AirTag has be moving with them. The iPhone has a similar alert system when the AirTag first launched.
