Apple has released a new Play Store app that will allow Android users to scan its ‘Find My’ network to find a misplaced AirTag or other devices that support the platform.

First revealed back in June, the app, ‘Tracker Detect,’ requires users to be running Android 9 or higher to search for Find My-powered trackers.

“Tracker Detect looks for item trackers that are separated from their owner and that are compatible with Apple’s Find My network,” reads the app description on the Play Store. “These item trackers include AirTag and compatible devices from other companies. If you think someone is using AirTag or another device to track your location, you can scan to try to find it.”

To look for nearby AirTags, you simply tap the blue ‘Scan’ button and any misplaced trackers near you will appear on the results page.

It’s worth noting that the app appears to be unavailable in Canada at the moment, but that it should be hitting our Play Store soon.
