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.

    You need to wait for this: https://chipolo.net/en-us/products/chipolo-one-point

    It was supposed to go on sale one month ago, but then apple asked google to delay sales until they implement stalker detection for this tracker in iOS. How long will be delay last? We only know that the longer the delay, the more profits apple can make from airtag sales. It’s not in their interests to quickly push this patch to ios…

    Other products don’t work as well as they don’t have the massive userbase
