Air tag for android?

[HouseFullOfChaos]

Hi. Is there a good air tag equivalent for Android out there? About a year ago I bought some "tiles" and they were absolutely useless. All the Apple parents seem to use air tags all the time for tracking their children's belongings - even for tracking their children! - but I'm really struggling to find a reliable android version.

Has anyone used anything just as good with their android phone?

There's a Samsung Galaxy smart tag, if you have a Samsung phone.

I don't have a Samsung phone, I have a Google pixel.

Anyone else have any experience with an android version of an air tag?

I have the Samsung smart tags, they are brilliant. I think you can link them to any android device.

They are a life saver as dd is forever losing her house key. I also have them on our dogs. If the cats weren't buggers at losing their collared I would tag them too!

I use apple airtags (via the kids iphones), Tiles and Samsung tags via my android (Samsung) phone, and find them all as good as each other.

If the samsung ones are no good on a pixel, im sure the tile ones wpuld work well.

My 15y old recently went on a school trip and he's such a nightmare with losing things, he had all 3 in his suitcase and his rucksack!!

I quite like Tile. What do they not do that you want them to?

ETA I have a Samsung phone, I don't know if that makes a difference.

you can apparently use galaxy tags with now samsung android phones via a workaround app: Source: Android Authority https://share.google/NndVLwlzLyBDKtLUQ

Google Chipolo tags.i bought a couple for my dad and they are very good.

I've got several of the Tile ones and never had an issue tbh (I have a OnePlus android phone). But I've never used Apple airtags, so not sure if there's something I'm missing functionality-wise?
