海外TECH Engadget The best Bluetooth trackers for 2025 https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/best-bluetooth-tracker-140028377.html?src=rss Cold weather is an especially rough time for keeping track of one s keys ーso many more layers with so many more pockets ーreally they could be anywhere Stick a Bluetooth tracker on your keyring and suddenly finding items is as easy as tapping a button in an app Of course these trackers are good for bags luggage wallets and even jackets themselves And if something goes missing out in the city an anonymous finding network can help lead you to your lost item We tested out most of the major tracker brands out there comparing their everyday utility compatibility the size of the connected networks and other handy features to help you find the best Bluetooth tracker for you What to look for in a Bluetooth tracking device Bluetooth trackers are small discs or cards that rely on short range low energy wireless signals to communicate with your smartphone Attach one of these gadgets your stuff and if it s in range your phone can ring the chip so you can find it These tracking devices offer other features like separation alerts to tell you when you ve left a tagged item behind or where a lost item was last detected Some can even tap into a larger network of smartphones to track down your device when you re out of range Depending on what you want the tracker to do there are a few specs to look for when deciding which to get Device compatibility Like most things from the folks in Cupertino AirTags only work with products in the Apple ecosystem The company has opened up access to its Find My network to third party manufacturers including Chipolo and Pebblebee Those finders work with Apple s large tracking network but only pair with Apple devices Chipolo s classic trackers will work with either Android or Apple devices as will Tile trackers Samsung s latest fob the Galaxy SmartTag only works with Samsung phones but new tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee that rely on Google s new Find My Device network will work with any Android phone running Android or later Finding network Crowd sourced finding capabilities are what make headlines with stories about recovering stolen equipment or tracking lost luggage across the globe Using anonymous signals that ping other people s devices these Bluetooth tracking devices can potentially tell you where a tagged item is even if your smartphone is out of Bluetooth range nbsp Apple s Find My network is the largest with over a billion iPhones and iPads in service all running Apple s Find My app by default So unless an iPhone user opts out their phone silently acts as a location detector for any nearby AirTags Apple recently increased the AirTag s finding power by enabling you to share the location of a lost tag with a third party like an airline Chipolo fobs that work on Apple s network have the same ability Now that Google s Find My Device network is up and running it s a close second for the largest in the US Like Apple Android users are automatically part of the network but can opt out by selecting the Google services option in their phone s Settings app and toggling the option in the Find My Device menu Samsung s SmartTag and related network also defaults to an opt in status for finding tags and other devices Tile offers a large finding grid that includes Tile users Amazon Sidewalk customers and people running the Life network Life acquired Tile in and according to the company the Life network has more than million monthly active users In our tests AirTags offered nearly real time location data and were quickest to find items abandoned in spots around Albuquerque including a bar bookstore and coffee shop in Nob Hill along with various outdoor hangouts on UNM s campus Samsung s SmartTags were able to locate our lost items most of the time though not with the same precision finding accuracy as AirTags Google s newish Find My Device network was a little slower than Apple s network when using the community finding feature but the accuracy was better than Samsung In our tests Tile s finding network wasn t able to consistently locate its lost fobs Chipolo s classic trackers on the other hand don t have much of a crowd sourced network to speak of Yet as we used the trackers the size of the finding network started to feel less important in the face of typical everyday use cases It was their ability to out perform in every other way that boosted Chipolo s classic trackers to the top of our list Amy Skorheim Engadget Separation alerts Here s where a tracker s day to day utility really shines A separation alert lets you know when you ve traveled too far from your tagged items which is useful if you want to make sure your laptop bag or jacket or umbrella always comes with you when you leave the house These notifications work when you re out and about too If you ve got a Bluetooth tracking device in your wallet and walk out of a restaurant without it the separation alert should kick in resulting in fewer lost items This feature also tells you where your tagged item and phone were last paired allowing you to retrace your steps if you happen to miss the alert Each tracker handles left behind items differently Both AirTags and Chipolo include the feature by default Tile trackers require a yearly subscription to enable the alerts currently per year And tags working with the Google Find My Device network don t offer the feature at all Both AirTags and Tiles allow you to turn off separation alerts at certain locations meaning you can set your home as a safe place where items can be left behind but alerts will still trigger elsewhere Chipolo doesn t offer safe locations but you can toggle out of range alerts on a per item basis In our tests the Chipolo sent an alert after we got between and feet away from our tagged item AirTags alerted us between the and foot mark And Tiles sent a notification after about an average of feet Tile notifications were more consistent when using an Android phone than an iPhone Connectivity volume and design The feature you may use most often is the key finder function which makes the tracker ring when you hit a button in the app With Apple s AirTags you can say Hey Siri where are my keys and the assistant will ring the tag assuming it doesn t mistakenly think you re asking for directions to the Floridian archipelago Asking Alexa or the Google Assistant to find your keys will work with Chipolo Tile and Pebblebee trackers linked to your Android device nbsp nbsp The SmartTag Tile Chipolo classic and Pebblebee trackers using the Pebblebee app will also let you double click the device itself to make your phone ring AirTags and any third party tags running on either the Find My Apple or Find My Device Google app don t offer this feature The volume of the Bluetooth tracking device may determine whether you can find an item buried in your couch cushions or in a noisy room AirTags have a reputation for being on the quiet side and that aligned with what we saw measuring roughly decibels All three versions of Chipolo s keychain style tags and Tile s Pro model were the loudest measuring between and decibels on average Design will determine what you can attach the tracker to AirTags are small smooth discs that can t be secured to anything without accessories which are numerous but that is an additional cost to consider Chipolo Pebblebee and Tile offer trackers with holes that easily attach to your key ring and all three companies also offer card shaped versions designed to fit in your wallet Batteries are replaceable for AirTags Tile Pro and Chipolo One the first two have a one year battery life and the Chipolo can go up to two years Tile Mate and all card shaped trackers don t have replaceable batteries which means you ll have to replace the entire unit whenever it dies Pebblebee trackers are rechargeable and come in both a key fob and wallet variety Stalking theft and data privacy AirTags have gotten a lot of attention and even prompted some lawsuits for Apple due to bad actors planting them on people in order to stalk them While this fact may not influence your buying decision any discussion of Bluetooth trackers should note what steps Apple Google and Tile have taken to address the issue Last year all the major players in the Bluetooth tracker business teamed up to combat misuse and standardize how unauthorized tracking detection and alerts work for iOS and Android Last year Tile launched a feature called Anti Theft Mode which enables you to render one of its trackers undetectable by others That means if someone steals your tagged item they won t be able to use the anti stalking features to find and disable the tracker That sort of negates one of the major ways potential stalking victims can stay safe so Tile hopes ID verification and a million penalty will deter misuse Separately Tile was recently hit by a data breach raising different privacy concerns The company issued a statement about the event which it shared with Engadget nbsp Similar to many other companies Life recently became the victim of a criminal extortion attempt We received emails from an unknown actor claiming to possess Tile customer information We promptly initiated an investigation into the potential incident and detected unauthorized access to a Tile customer support platform but not our Tile service platform The potentially impacted data consists of information such as names addresses email addresses phone numbers and Tile device identification numbers It does not include more sensitive information such as credit card numbers passwords or log in credentials location data or government issued identification numbers because the Tile customer support platform did not contain these information types We believe this incident was limited to the specific Tile customer support data described above and is not more widespread We take this event and the security of customer information seriously We have taken and will continue to take steps designed to further protect our systems from bad actors and we have reported this event and the extortion attempt to law enforcement We remain committed to keeping families safe online and in the real world As a theft deterrent a Bluetooth tracker may or may not be the best option Anecdotal stories abound in which people have recovered stolen goods using a tracker ーbut other tales are more cautionary Neither Apple nor Google promotes its trackers or finding networks as a way to deal with theft GPS trackers on the other hand are typically marketed for just that purpose How we tested Before deciding on which trackers to test we researched the field looking at user reviews on Amazon Best Buy and other retailers along with discussions on sites like Reddit We also checked out what other publications had to say on the matter before narrowing down our picks to Apple AirTag Tile and Chipolo trackers When Samsung s SmartTag came out in October of we added that to our testing along with Pebblebee s rechargeable Chip tracker After Google launched its Find My Device network we added compatible fobs from Chipolo and Pebblebee to the mix nbsp Here s the full list of every tracker we tested Apple AirTag Chipolo Card Spot Chipolo One Spot Chipolo One Chipolo Card Pebblebee Clip Samsung SmartTag Chipolo One Point Pebblebee Clip for Android Tile Pro Tile Mate Tile Mate Tile Pro Tile Slim After acquiring the trackers I tested each one over the course of a few weeks using both an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy S Ultra I recreated likely user experiences such as losing and leaving items behind at home and out in the city I planted trackers at different spots near downtown Albuquerque mostly concentrated in and around the University of New Mexico and the surrounding neighborhood of Nob Hill Later I conducted tests in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle Each test was performed multiple times both while walking and driving and I used the measure distance feature on Google Maps to track footage for alerts I paid attention to how easy the app was to use how reliable the phone to tracker connection was and any other perks and drawbacks that came up during regular use Other trackers we tested Tile Pro and Tile Mate Tile recently came out with a new suite of trackers replacing the Tile Mate Tile Pro Tile Sticker and Tile Slim with updated models In addition to fun new colors for the Mate and Slim Tile added an SOS feature that can send a notification to your Life Circle when you triple press the button on the tracker It s a clever addition that turns your keys into a panic button something offered by personal safety companies as standalone devices There are a few caveats You and the people you want to notify in an emergency will need the Life app installed on your phones If you want your Tile to also trigger a call to emergency services you ll need a per month Life subscription that s in addition to a Tile membership which starts at month or annually And enabling the SOS triple press disables the ability to ring your phone with the fob I tested the SOS feature and it did indeed send a text message to my Circle with the message that I had triggered an SOS and a link to a website that showed my current location I thought it odd that the link didn t open the Life app which shows the location of users phones but I wasn t as much concerned with Tile s personal safety features as I was with the tracking capabilities which turned out to be less than ideal For my tests I planted Tile trackers in a densely populated area of Seattle about people per square mile After setting the trackers to lost in the Tile app I waited After four hours one of the trackers was not discovered by the finding community so I went and retrieved it Another fob I planted alerted me that the tracker had been found by the Tile community after three hours ーbut the location it gave me was off by a third of a mile I then decided to plant a tracker in the most populated place I could think of ーthe dried fruit and nuts aisle of a Trader Joes on a Friday evening before a major holiday It still took over a half an hour before another Tile user anonymously pinged my lost tracker In my tests with Samsung s trackers and the fobs on Google s Find My Device network it took around ten minutes for them to be discovered AirTags took half that time and all were tested in a far less populated city Four hours with no ping and over a half hour before getting a hit in a crowded TJs were pretty long stretches Our top pick the classic Chipolo has virtually no finding network But if you re getting a tracker for that feature alone you should go with AirTags if you have an iPhone or the Google enabled Chipolo or Pebblebee trackers if you use an Android phone We prefer the Chipolo because it works with either iOS or Android devices it rings loud it s quick to tell you when you ve left it behind and it connects nearly instantly when you re searching for a misplaced tracker around the house Tile devices also work with both mobile operating systems and its latest models are indeed louder than they were before But they aren t as quick to connect and you need to pay for a membership to activate left behind alerts And when you do those notifications don t kick in as quickly as they do with competing trackers Bluetooth tracker FAQs Which Bluetooth tracker has the longest range Both the Tile Pro and the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag claim a maximum range of around feet which is longer than the foot claim for most of Chipolo s tags Apple doesn t make similar claims for AirTags Any Bluetooth signal however is dependent on a few factors Obstacles like walls and people can block the signal so a clear line of sight is the only way to achieve the maximum range Other signals like Wi Fi can also interfere with Bluetooth connections Even high humidity can have an effect and lessen the distance at which your phone will connect to your tracker Remember when considering the range of Bluetooth trackers the size of the finding network also comes into play This is the number of nearby phones that can be used to anonymously ping your tracker when your own phone is out of Bluetooth range As of now Apple AirTags have the largest network followed by Google s Find My Device Samsung s finding community Tile s Life members and finally Chipolo s own network What is the best Bluetooth tracker for a car Bluetooth trackers are designed to track small personal items like keys jackets backpacks and the like All trackers have safeguards to prohibit the tag from being used to stalk people so most will alert someone if a tracker that does not belong to them is detected following them That means a car thief may get tipped off that there s a tracker in the car they re trying to steal That said you ll see plenty of stories about people finding their car thanks to a Bluetooth tracker Some police departments have even handed out trackers to combat high rates of carjacking In most instances the tracker of choice has been AirTags thanks to their wide finding network How accurate are Bluetooth trackers Accuracy for Bluetooth trackers can be looked at in two ways Finding items nearby and finding items misplaced outside your home For nearby items you ll most often use the ring function on the device to hunt it down Two tags Apple s AirTags and Samsung s Galaxy SmartTag also use ultra wideband technology which creates directional navigation on your phone to get you within a foot of the tracker Accurately finding lost items outside your home depends on the size of the finding network Since this relies on the serendipity of a random phone passing within Bluetooth range of your tracker the more phones on a given network the better And since Bluetooth ranges and distance estimates are only precise within about a meter or so getting pings from more than one phone will help locating items Here again it s worth noting that Apple s Find My network is the largest followed by Google Samsung Tile and Chipolo both Chipolo and Pebblebee have fobs that work with the Apple and Google networks This article originally appeared on Engadget at 2025-01-17 10:01:26
