Apple and Google have teamed up to deliver support for unwanted Bluetooth tracking alerts in iOS and Android.
Google did not put it in Android. They put it in Google Services Framework. Ironically, GSF is the first part you rip out to protect your privacy.
Lemmy definitely has a lot of very tech savvy users
This for tracking taggers like the thing Apple has, whatever it’s called. Not data tracking
GSF is where most of Google’s invasive user tracking happens. It’s proprietary, closed source and is not part of AOSP (Android Open Source Project). It is, by definition, spyware.
steal bag
get notified on my phone that there’s a tracker in there
helps me disable the trackerThanks mega corps 👍
“over time” is key in the description of how this works. I went on a work trip with a colleague recently and it was only about 24 hours after we met up that my phone notified me there was an AirTag following me, because she had one on her car keys. You wouldn’t be notified straight away.
Yeah. A bag thief would take the valuables and toss the bag pretty quick.
