TrackerScan helps you detect small location trackers that can be used to monitor your movements. Although your iPhone automatically warns about AirTags, there is no comparable protection for trackers like Samsung SmartTags, Tile trackers, Chipolo trackers, Pebblebee trackers, and many others. That’s where TrackerScan comes in – extending your privacy protection. With TrackerScan, you can actively search for any trackers nearby. The app assists you in locating the tracker by displaying the approximate distance. For some supported devices, like AirTags and Google trackers, a sound can also be played to help locate them. The app uses your iPhone’s Bluetooth functionality to detect the most common location trackers. Your scan history and recorded locations remain on your device. The app supports most common Bluetooth trackers, including: Apple AirTag, Apple Find My trackers, Tile trackers, Samsung SmartTag, Solum SmartTag, Samsung SmartThings Find devices, Chipolo trackers, Pebblebee trackers, and Google Find Hub trackers. Please note that GPS trackers cannot be detected. Note: AirTag, Find My, and iOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. This app is not affiliated with Apple Inc. or Alphabet Inc.
