Additional Limits #
Some Bluetooth trackers change their identification regularly.
AirGuard may display the same tracker as multiple different entries over time.
Trackers that do not change their identification
(e.g. Tile) will be detected more often and result in a higher likelihood of false positive detections.
It is not possible to identify the owner for every type of tracker.
If you get a warning, please check whether the tracker belongs to you or someone you know.
