    Android devices should gain this capability in the future.

    Gross, please no. I don’t care how much cryptography they use, I still hate the idea of being opted-in to my personal hardware being part of a corporate run botnet for tracking devices.

      I meant the feature where it can detect if an unknown AirTag is travelling with you. Not the part where it will participate in the find my network. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

        You should not have to. This is not how device ownership should work. I don’t want to own any devices that were designed by people who think this is a reasonable thing to do.

          Idk what phone you have today (though it sounds like android) , but by those standards I can almost guarentee that you already have a phone that does similarly privacy invading things

      They’re giving Android phones the ability to detect Apple tags so you can notice you have one “following” you. You won’t be providing GPS updates to Apple as I understand it, nor will you be able to use Apple tags without an iPhone.
