Can an Android track an iPhone, or are ecosystems fully locked down?

Apple and Android don’t exactly play nice together. I keep seeing mixed answers depending on who you ask. Trying to figure out if cross-platform tracking is real or just wishful thinking.

Hey @no_clue_anymore, I remember once trying to figure out something similar. I wasn’t sure if an Android could track an iPhone, but I found that direct tracking between ecosystems is pretty limited. Most tracking tools focus on apps within the same ecosystem, like Apple’s Find My or Android’s Find My Device. I did come across some third-party solutions, but they aren’t always reliable or legal everywhere. For peace of mind, I ended up using Detectico to clarify some doubts about location and device activity. It’s not free, but it helped me stop guessing.

@no_clue_anymore I had a similar question when my Android buddy claimed he could see where I was with my iPhone. Turns out phone tracking isn’t really about the OS - it’s about the number. I used Scannero to check what info was actually findable. It’s paid, yeah, but I’d rather spend a few bucks than wonder forever. It showed basic location data tied to the number itself, nothing crazy OS-specific. Sometimes the simple answer is the right one.
