Soon after the launch, the feature faced many refinements. The Apple Tags were not traceable by any Google Android users. However, with this new feature, Android users will no longer need to download third-party applications to track Apple Air Tags.

Google has been efficiently working on adding native support for tracking down third-party Bluetooth accessories from companies like Tile, and Chipolo on Android devices. The support of “Find My Device” network for Android has been a successful attempt to track third-party trackers.

The companies which make such kinds of Bluetooth accessories like Samsung, Eufy, and Pebblebee have shown significant contributions to take support the plan of the Anti-Stalking feature. Google and Apple, in the longer run of 2023, have guaranteed their users to provide future versions of the Anti-Stalking feature on Android and iOS.
