Some people rarely lose things. Wallets are always exactly where they\u2019re supposed to be, keys never go missing, and remotes never slip between the couch cushions. And then there\u2019s the rest of us \u2014 the folks who can\u2019t ever<\/em> seem to find the thing that was right<\/em> there a few seconds ago. For us, Bluetooth trackers can help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bluetooth trackers have been around for a long time, and they all generally work the same way. You attach the tracker to an object (a key ring, tote, in your wallet, etc), pair it with your phone, and then, if you lose said object, you can go into an app and ring the tracker. These days, Bluetooth trackers can do a lot more. Some have ultra-wideband chips that enable precision tracking, so you can find exactly where in a room your item is without having to sound an alarm. Most trackers tap into large networks \u2014 like Apple\u2019s Find My and Google\u2019s Find Hub \u2014 making it easier to locate lost items outside the home. Many will notify you if they detect you\u2019ve left the device behind or come with QR codes that link to your contact information so people can easily return lost items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These features are incredibly handy but also have the potential for misuse<\/a>. For example, when Apple launched the AirTag, it seems the company hadn\u2019t anticipated they might be used to track people or stolen items \u2014 but that\u2019s exactly what happened<\/a>. It\u2019s since beefed up<\/a> its anti-stalking features<\/a>, and companies like Tile have also followed suit<\/a>. Apple and Google have launched a standard that enables unwanted tracking alerts across both Android and iOS devices<\/a>, and major players like Tile, Samsung, and Chipolo have supported the initiative. Still, it\u2019s worth making yourself aware of each tracker\u2019s approach to safety when deciding the best option for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As consummate Losers of Things, we have tested a fair share of Bluetooth trackers on wallets, keys, and luggage. Here\u2019s what we\u2019d recommend if you, too, have a hard time finding things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
