Android users, rejoice: AirTag-like trackers for Android exist. After a painfully slow rollout, Google’s Find Hub (previously known as Find My Device) is now live, and while it’s not flawless, it’s finally usable. Like Apple’s network, it taps into the billions of Android phones out there to create a crowdsourced tracking network, meaning Android users can now track items just like iPhone users have been doing for years.
Android-compatible trackers plug straight into Google’s Find Hub app and can be tracked when lost. Most support encrypted location sharing, separation alerts and unknown tracker notifications. I’ve been testing Bluetooth trackers for nearly a decade – back when Tile was still the go-to. While Find Hub isn’t as fast or polished as Apple’s Find My network in everyday use – I’ve still found gaps in coverage, especially in quieter areas – it’s very nearly as good.
