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.

      Find my phone works by thr phone itself checking in. Airtags are passive - they’re being tracked by all the iphones in range.
