With a term that broad- how is anyone supposed to answer you?
In an app? On a website? Something you suspect the hardware might be doing?
Bluetooth Trackers I mean
Aha. It appears Google’s release of android has that sort of functionality baked in. I wasn’t aware of that.
Still, it seems out of scope for an operating system.
It looks like the EFF recommends some app called “AirGuard”- even over using the built in scanners.

AFAIK, these apps require you to manually open it and scan, and does not constantly scan for trackers. So, unless you just have a sort of paranoid “ritual” to open the app every time, you will likely miss a tracker placed by a creepy ex who will follow you to your new address.
Both the default of of iOS and Google’s Android would constantly monitor what Bluetooth signals are nearby, and give you a notification when such tracker is detected to be moving with you (regardless of which brand of bluetooth trackers).
I haven’t really dug into this, but AirGuards github page claims the app scans periodically and will give you a notification on suspicious results.
