All time low on the Moto Tag with UWB and Google's Find My Device network. Good for those who want to try these trackers for a cheap price. 1-Pack is 54% off RRP$55 and 4-Pack is 45% off RRP$179.

This is better than the Samsung Smart Tag2 as it works with all android devices and uses the full Google Find My network instead of only Samsung devices.

Up to 1 year battery life. Replaceable CR2032 battery. Precise tracking with UWB.

Compatible with AirTag accessories. Dimensions are identical.

Starlight Blue and Jade Green colours available.

    Is UWB working now?

      Yes

      • kwchaz on 05/07/2025 - 16:02

        I don't have the app update to 01.00.073.10-release, so sadly also don't have the fw update to the UWB one. :(

          If you grab the moto tag APK from apkmirror, you can manually override the update flow this one time and force the firmware update on the hardware.

          For some reason Motorola haven't rolled it out to aus yet, but there's no regional model/SKU spec that'll cause issues.

        • hippo2s on 07/07/2025 - 16:24

          Side loaded 073 upgraded firmware. Then confirms that my Moto Edge 50 Neo doesn't support UWB. …yet another reason to get off it.

        Your phone would also have to support it.

        Tag>App>Phone the whole chain.

        This is why Apple stuff just works. (As an anti-apple person).

          You would think so, that's certainly what I was lead to believe until I actually had to setup iPads for my kids. Going through that process there's a well known issue with account creation and such that requires workarounds and still hasn't been fixed to my knowledge….

          Whilst they just work with Apple, you have to keep upgrading your device with Apple too, even if it would work fine the second you do an OS update suddenly its incompatible…

        Ultra-Wideband which enable more precise location.

    Sideload Moto app from APK mirror to get the uwb firmware.

    • kwchaz on 05/07/2025 - 21:45

      I sideloaded, got the fw update notification, but it says update failed. Anyone got a link to an APK that worked for them?

      The gplay version did a fw update just prior without any issues…

        Had to run it a few times, always failed downloading the firmware on wireless for me but worked fine over LTE.

        • kwchaz on 06/07/2025 - 14:03

          You're right! For some reason it won't download over wifi - weird!

    Not sure whether i really need 4 or not. At least now its the same price to buy singles. What do people have them permanently in rather than just during travel?

      As someone with a bunch of Airtags, but looking for an Android alternative, I've got them on my car keys, house keys, wallet, partner's house keys and one in the car. I've also got a spare for my passport case and luggage when I travel.

      • Hmjm on 05/07/2025 - 20:16

        Can you ring on them ( using google find my device) when keys are lost inside the house somewhere?

        • LongJohn92 on 05/07/2025 - 20:30

          Yes. You can also do the reverse and push the button on the tag to find your phone.

      • Ziitek on 05/07/2025 - 20:55

        Will it just work on my Google P9P or do I need to do some tinkering?

          I've just switched over from iPhone 15 Pro and a bunch of Airtags to a P9P and picking these up tomorrow. Will let you know.

          • klaw81 on 06/07/2025 - 15:43

            @chet: I'd love to hear your feedback. I don't expect Airtag levels of succes, but I'm looking for Tile alternatives and these seem like one of the best candidates.

              +1

              @klaw81: Airtag still better, since it updates the distance to tag much quicker, while these take about 2 seconds while moving around to update the distance. Still the best alternative though for Android. Plus, compatibility with any existing airtag accessories you might already have.

          • fredblogs on 06/07/2025 - 19:23

            @chet: why the switch to android?

          Works perfectly with P9P since it supports UWB. Updated tag firmware with new APK, and close proximity detection with directions worked flawlessly. Good to finally see this in the Android space.

    This should be the RRP

    • taki on 05/07/2025 - 17:44

      In that case, Apple Tag should be cheaper than this, considering Moto Tag has better features ;) Considering the Galaxy S23U & maybe Note 10+ (if they upgrade the support)

      • hopper on 05/07/2025 - 17:51

        Apple Tag should be free for iphone owners as they pay a lot already for the phone

        • bcYield on 05/07/2025 - 23:43

          No. They just charge what they can, and they just pay what they can.

    Hows the battery life now on these things ? I see a lot of complaints about battery life on an earlier firmware.

    • BarkGains on 05/07/2025 - 17:05

      Bought the four pack mid-June, two are saying they're low battey already. Maybe its just the provided batteries being bad but disappointed in that. Other than that happy with them

      Same. No price protection with Harvey Norman either. I got the 4 pack for $138 preciously.

      I've been quite happy with them. Yet to go on a trip to fully test them. I've tried them in and around the city and have been happy with the results. Hopefully this stays as the normal price.

      • starbearer on 05/07/2025 - 17:32

          There are already $7 tags that work fine with the network, just no uwb yet. Though not much point without a phone that supports it.

          These should be at most $15 each, they are ripping people off at the moment.

        • katsuya on 07/07/2025 - 15:34

      These are far better. Their location can be updated by any Android user, not just one of the relatively few users who have the Tile app.

    • furyou on 05/07/2025 - 19:02

      Afaik. No.

      Apple is the largest network where all devices automatically work in the network.

      Samsung is the second but much smaller in Western countries, but large in Asian countries.

      Google is opt in only. But technically could have the devices if they change their mind in a few years or decades

      Third party ones have support for both networks and next to no coverage.

    • lawyerz on 05/07/2025 - 19:03

      Unfortunately no trackers other than tile works with both and tiles network is being cannabilised by the day. Even trackers with both network will only work with one at a time

    • hippo2s on 06/07/2025 - 22:30

      Mili has a tag called Duo. It will let you select to use iOS or Android, unfortunately not at the same time. It's a great missed opportunity. I want a tag that works at the same time on both platforms.

      • klaw81 on 06/07/2025 - 22:41

        The only one that works on both platforms is Tile as far as I know.

        There are a couple of other brands that can work with either, but not at the same time.

        • hippo2s on 07/07/2025 - 09:55

          The Tile one, is that the same single SKU item that works on both? I thought the app is available on both but they sell separate products.

          Where as the MILI one is same single SKU. Just not at the same time (you choose one OS).

          • klaw81 on 07/07/2025 - 10:31

            @hippo2s: Tile single SKU works with any device, Android or iOS, with their app installed, at the same time. It's truly cross-platform.

            The other ones will work with either Android or iOS (you choose) but only one at a time - you need to choose.

  • ItsMeAgro on 05/07/2025 - 19:06

    Are these rechargeable?

    (The Tile tags are great until you realise the current models don't have rechargeable batteries, so you are literally suppose to chuck 'em and buy new ones every couple of years like some kind of thoughtless coal-rolling chud).

          I got one for my mom so she won't misplace her car keys at home, and to make it easy to find her phone by just double pressing the tag.

          It's much easier to hit a button on a tag than to ask my dad where his phone is, log in, look for and open the Find app, wait for the app to load everything, select the other phone, then press the play sound button.

            Why not just ring the phone? If the phone is set to silent, ringing twice will usually break through and force the phone to ring.

              If the phone is set to silent, ringing twice will usually break through and force the phone to ring.

              That has to be set up beforehand. I haven't done it as it's just easier to press a button on the car keys, and it also allows the car keys to be tracked.

                It's just a phone call, you can use any phone to make the call. You can use your own phone or use a landline phone if there's one available.

                That has to be set up beforehand

                No, it's the default on both Android and iPhone.

                  No, it's the default on both Android and iPhone.

                  When was it introduced? My Samsung phone is always in silent mode. I just tried calling myself three times in a row and it never rang. I would be annoyed if my phone started ringing in a cinema or wedding ceremony when I set it to silent mode and a random person called twice.

                    @eug:

                    When was it introduced?

                    That I haven't been able to find out. "Do not disturb" replaced "silent mode" quite a long time ago. I have an old Android 8 mobile from 2019 that has an "Allow repeat callers" setting under the "Do not disturb" settings (the phone is an Aspera Jazz 2), so the "Allow repeat callers" setting has been there for quite a while.

                    Currently if you ask Google 'in stock android, what is the default setting for "allow repeat callers"', Google AI replies 'In stock Android, the default setting for "Allow repeat callers" within the Do Not Disturb mode is enabled'. I got no answer when I asked Google AI for when this became the default setting.

                    I would be annoyed if my phone started ringing in a cinema or wedding ceremony when I set it to silent mode

                    I only found this out when my current phone, a Moto G14, rang when I was in the middle of a meeting with DND turned on. It was most embarrassing, I had to dig to find out how to stop this from happening again. That was about a year ago.

                    My Samsung phone is always in silent mode. I just tried calling myself three times in a row and it never rang.

                    Samsung phones don't run stock android, Samsung made lots of changes to the version of Android installed on their phones, for example their custom user interface called 'One UI'. Motorola phones (like mine) run a near-stock version of Android, with minimal customisation.

                    However, asking Google AI 'in samsung mobile phones, what is the default setting for "allow repeat callers"' replies with 'In Samsung phones, the default setting for "Allow repeat callers" within the Do Not Disturb mode is on'. So it could be that this setting has recently changed for newer Samsung phones, or you might have turned it off, or Google AI could be wrong. Unless the instruction manual for your phone lists the default setting, the only way to find out is to do a factory reset of your phone (not something I would recommend, it takes ages to get your phone back to the way you like it).

                      Silent mode and DND are two different things. DND did not replace silent mode, it's just a way to manage notifications more granularly. Silent mode is literally just turning down the ring volume to zero.

                      Samsung phones don't run stock android,

                      I just called my Pixel 9 Pro Fold 3 times in a row and it never rang. I also always keep it in silent mode.

                          @Russ: In my experience, and especially with Samsung - silent means silent.
                          Do not disturb is configurable to however you want it (i.e. Don't play sounds but still let the phone ring or vice versa)
                          They're still separate functions

                          • Russ on 09/07/2025 - 23:41

                            @lachhelix: I just checked again, and found that you're right - my Moto does have a separate silent function, but it's harder to get to. I have to bring up the volume bar and tap the relatively tiny symbol at the top. DND can be accessed from a quick settings tile, and can be scheduled, neither of these is true for silent mode.

                          All phones let you adjust the ringer volume - just turn the ringer volume to zero. You can usually do that by pressing the volume up/down button. A volume bar will pop up and at the top is a speaker icon. Tapping on it lets you switch to silent or vibrate mode.

                          You can see it in the Android AOSP screenshots. That's the definition of stock Android.

                          It's also on this Moto G14 support page.

                            @eug: You're right, I found it on my Moto. Now that I've configured DND the way I like it, I'll always use DND instead though, for a number of reasons:

                            • DND is available as a quick settings tile (silent isn't), which is arguably easier to get to and much larger than the relatively small icon in the volume bar.
                            • DND will automatically turn off after a number of hours, that I can set.
                            • DND can be scheduled, and I can have multiple schedules with different settings.
                            • I can individually set apps so their notifications break through when DND is active, and even specify which types of notifications to allow. Can also set whether alarms and media sounds play through DND.
                            • DND can be configured to allow only starred contacts through, like the contact for my mother's "fall down alert" pendant.

                            DND status is also visible on the volume bar, it "greys out" the volume bargraph if you've set it to block media sounds.

      At home I use the Google home, not sure how viable it is for multiple users, but I think you just have to choose who/which device. Most days and often several times per day "Hey Google, where's my phone now?" Rings my phone even if the sound is off. It's saved me from looking for my phone in obscure places.

        This is one of the most common uses of Google Home at my place

    Could you hide one of these in your car as a pseudo GPS tracker?

    • Mr BoMBAStiG on 05/07/2025 - 21:06

      Yes

        If you put in your car and it's stolen, do others get notified if this tag has been near them for a while?

        • dontpanic on 06/07/2025 - 01:49

          I assume so, but that could be a deterrent anyway. Just make sure to hide it somewhere hard to find.

            @dontpanic: I bought an AirTag to attach to my car key while I have Android phones only, and keep getting that stupid notification. I can make the tag play sound by clicking a button on my phone so. With that feature, I think a car thief would less than 10 minutes to find it out, no matter how hard to find that place is

              @Averell: Ten minutes is a long time when stealing a car. It's worthwhile putting it in, especially when proving to insurance that you've taken more than expected precautions. I'd also recommend a property GPS like SinoTrack if your car is worth anything.

              If you buy one of those cheap $5 non-UWB trackers from AliExpress, the beeper is extremely easy to cut out as the case isn't sealed. You can then hide it somewhere and the thief won't be able to make it beep.
