Hi all,
I was thinking of gifting someone, who is going to travel, an airtag-ish thing for android. I don’t know the first thing about them, but a quick search learned me that:
-
airtag is for apple - the person uses android
-
some of these gadgets have subscriptions - i don’t want to saddle them up with additional money grabs
-
Tile seems to have a shady history, in the past selling locations of millions of users
It needs to be suitable for europe and asia, if that matters.
Could you give me some recommendations or info what i would need to consider?
Thank you for reading. Have a great day!
EDIT: thank you for your replies. I don’t think i’m going to pursue this type of gift any further then.
Google is on its way to release its own Find my device network with “Airtag” like products https://9to5google.com/2023/05/10/android-find-my-device-trackers/
Sadly, it got postponed https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/27/23810052/google-find-my-device-delay-apple-unknown-tracker-alerts-stalking, and we don’t know when it will be available. My guess (that’s 100% based on nothing) is that we will get a date during Google Pixel event
