Tile is, at long last, introducing a new app feature to scan for unwanted trackers, as reports of item-tracker-based stalking continue to roll in. The “Scan & Secure” feature, first announced in October, will begin showing up in the Tile app beginning this week.
The recent uptick in item-tracker usage — thanks to the introduction of Apple’s AirTags — has brought to light just how easy it is to throw a small tracking device in someone’s bag and then watch their every move. Apple created apps for both iOS and Android to scan for unwanted trackers — though the latter falls somewhat flat in its actual usability.
