Google took its time stepping up, but it’s better late than never
So Apple completely fails to give any kind of fuck that some people don’t use their products but might be affected by them… and Google is the bad guy for not being timely enough to account for Apples douchebaggery? I mean, I’m no google fanboy, but jesus christ that’s some shitty logic.
Apple created an app to detect airtags for Android but…
It takes 2 full minutes to do a scan (only manual scans are supported)
For some reason you need to wait a timer of TEN FUCKING MINUTES before make the tracker beep (close the app and you need to wait the ten minutes again)
It’s the most minimum viable product that they could ship, I think the long waits are all artificial because there’s no way that someone actually waits all that time each time that wants to check if he’s stalked by an airtag. It’s clearly designed for compliance “see? We made a detection app for Android users” and not for being actually used
Google took its time stepping up, but it’s better late than never
And Google is postponing the launch of their trackers compatible with Google Find My network (Chipolo Point, PebbleBee) because Apple didn’t get around with adding stalking detection for these in time.
In this case if someone needs to step up and get their shit together, it’s Apple.

The waits are by design. Whithout them, it would be trivial to find an airtag in something you are going to steal and remove it.
As long as the protocol on the device allows it you can just mod the app to do it quicker
