AirTags are trackers designed to help you find your belongings. Simply attach one to your keys, wallet or even your pet's collar and enjoy peace of mind. Since iOS 17, Apple also lets you share AirTags with your friends and family. But what if you're using an Android phone? In this article, we will tell you all about whether AirTags work with Android devices.
Apple AirTags now support Android
Unfortunately, AirTags don't work with Android, at least not the same way they do with Apple devices. Like other smart trackers, AirTags communicate with a smartphone via Bluetooth. It relies on Apple's Find My network for precision search and location tracking.
An AirTag sends a signal not only to your iPhone, but to all nearby iPhones on Find My Network. As a result, other Apple devices also upload the location of your tracker to the cloud. So you can see the last known location of your AirTag, even if it's out of Bluetooth range of your Apple device.
Speaking of Android support, you can only scan for unwanted AirTags with an Android device. If you are planning to buy an AirTag to use with your Android phone, you need to look for AirTag alternatives for Android.
