I saw a while ago Google was planning an airtag alternative, but it seems to have been delayed. Anyone know when it’s finally coming out?

    It’s called Tile, but they don’t have a replaceable battery.

      And the network is way smaller since it only uses phones which have the tile app installed.

        I wouldn’t think Google would have qualms about using every Android device for its network, doesn’t it already do that for Google maps?

          People are much more willing to forgive Apple of that mistake than they are of google. Could you imagine if google was first to market with something that ended up being associated with stalking and every Android phone by default was in on it? Apple had a hard enough time weathering it.
