I was on a small lunch cruise this summer and after like an hour or so, my android 11 phone pinged me that it detected an unknown airtag following me. Fairly sure by now most would have that functionality.
Google and Samsung had to build and rollout safety features because Apple didn’t care for Android users.
The feature needs to be built into the operating system. Apple and Google worked together on a specification for unwanted trackers that’s now built into Android.
Seems more like a case of survivorship bias. AirTags get the news because they get caught more often than something like a Tile that does not alert people.
And yet, Apple is the one alerting people that an AirTag may be following them unlike other brands.

What’s an Android 11?
It’s a phone running an OS from 2 or more major revs ago. So, like, the notification functionally is in a LOT of phones by now.
You mean other iPhone users? You are not a person if you don’t buy an iPhone.

Right?
