Works uses Bluetooth to communicate with your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Hooking it up is a breeze.
If the trackers nearby, use its precision finding to lead you to your lost item.
Just pop open Find My and hit Directions.
Youll see arrows guiding you right there.
Theres also a Play Sound option in the app to make your AirTag beep.
But to me, the sounds softer than Id like.
If the AirTag is out of range of your iPhone, youll still be able to find it.
In any crowded place, its easy because almost everyone around you uses an iPhone.
Youll be able to use the prompts in the app to find your AirTag.
If your iPhone spots an AirTag moving with you thats not yours, youll get a heads-up.
And if an AirTags away from its owner for over three days, it chirps.
AirTags IP67 means it can take a dunk in water up to 3 feet deep for 30 minutes.
One downside of my AirTag?
And hey, no subscription fees to use AirTag, unlike Tile, for instance.
I also dont like that AirTag doesnt save my cats walking history like Samsungs SmartTag 2 does.
First off, SmartTag 2 is a buddy for Galaxy phones with Ultra-Wideband tech.
Its made for the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.
The big reason its Galaxy-only is cause it ties into Samsungs SmartThings app.
Price-wise, battery life, and water resistance are on par with AirTag.
Pairing with the app is just as easy.
Bring your Smart Tag close to your Galaxy rig and tap Add.
Smart Tag 2s got a range of about 400 feet.
If SmartTag 2s out of range, SmartThings taps into the Galaxy Find web connection.
Samsungs SmartTag2 also looks out for tags that might be following you.
But its not automatic.
You gotta launch a search for unknown tag through the SmartThings app on your Galaxy phone.
Smart Tag 2 is also great for keeping tabs on pet walks.
And you’re able to use Smart Tag 2 with your smart home.
Just set up an action in the app prefs and use the button on Smart Tag 2 to control.
Feature-wise, Smart Tag 2 is top-notch.
So if youve got a Galaxy phone, its the best pick.
Tile Features and functions description
Tile trackers work with both iOS and Android.
Tile has different models and sizes: Pro, Mate, Slim, and Sticker.
Like, theres this thin tracker perfect for wallets, which is cool.
They differ in range, price and size.
Battery life and range are on par with Smart Tag 2 and AirTag.
And yeah, its waterproof.
Once hooked up, using the Tile app is a breeze.
All your Tile trackers show up on the main screen.
And to find your phone, press the button on your Tile.
you’ve got the option to even use your voice to find stuff around the house.
Thats a big plus right there.
If your Tiles out of range, youll see its last known location on the apps map.
Theres also a QR code on the back that says, Scan me if found.
The gist is the same, but remember, there might be fewer folks using the Tile web connection.
Tile also offers a subscription for $2.99 a month.
You get features like a heads-up if youre leaving something behind.
So, youll know if youre walking away without your Tile.
Another perk of Tile Premium is a 30-day location history of your tracker.
Basically, it shows where your equipment has been.
Chipolo One Features and functions description
Chipolo works with both iPhones and Android smartphones.
Setting up the Card Spot is super easy.
After that, you control it through the Find My and Googles Find My gear apps.
Like with AirTags, you might also turn on Lost Mode.
And yeah, it works the same way on Android.
Then, other nearby Chipolo users can help you find your lost stuff.
But remember, only Chipolo users can help, so there might be fewer out there compared to AirTags.
But in crowded places, finding help shouldnt be an issue.
Overall, Chipolo doesnt really stand out from other trackers.
Its not better or worse, just good at what it does.
