Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Tag Tracking is coming to Android, this issue shall serve as a megathread for implementing Tag Tracking within microG.

Allowing the user to log then report seen tags, or totally disable the entire feature would be a major plus.

Alternatively allowing the user to just log seen tags would also be neat.

Given the open source nature of microG, it may even be possible to have Google's Product and Apple's FindMy feature interoperate within microG.
