How it works

Other people’s phones do the finding

The Tag has no GPS and no SIM. It sends out a short encrypted Bluetooth signal, and any nearby phone on the same finding network picks it up and reports the location anonymously to the cloud. You then see the position in your phone’s finding app. In a city that means a lost bag usually shows up within minutes, because the network is every compatible phone that walks past it.

  • Encrypted end to end — the passing phone learns nothing
  • Ring the Tag from your phone when it is close by
  • Lost mode leaves your contact details for a finder
  • No subscription and no data cost
The main decision

Apple Find My or Google Find Hub

The Tag works with both networks, which is unusual and is the main reason to pick it over the alternatives. What it will not do is use both at once — you choose one when you set it up. Pick the network matching the phone you carry, since that is the app you will actually open when something goes missing. If your household is mixed, note that a Tag set up on Find My cannot be located from an Android phone.

  • Apple Find My: iPhone or iPad on iOS 14.5 or later
  • Google Find Hub: Android 9 or later
  • One network at a time, chosen at setup
  • NFC tap reveals owner details to an iPhone finder
Worth knowing

No ultra-wideband

The Tag locates over Bluetooth and sound, not ultra-wideband, so there is no arrow pointing you to the exact spot in a room the way an AirTag does with a recent iPhone. In practice you get the location on a map and then ring it to find it by ear. For keys down the back of a sofa or a case in an airport hold, that is enough — and it costs a fraction of the UWB alternatives.

  • Map location plus an audible ring
  • No directional precision finding
  • Around 100 m Bluetooth range in the open
  • Battery you swap yourself rather than replacing the unit

Where people put them

Multi-packs cost noticeably less per Tag, which is why most people buy more than one.

Common questions

Does the Xiaomi Tag work with an iPhone?

Yes. It joins Apple’s Find My network on iOS 14.5 or later and appears in the Find My app beside your other items, with no extra app needed. On Android it uses Google Find Hub instead, on Android 9 or later.

Can I use it with Apple and Google at the same time?

No. You choose one network during setup, and that is the one the Tag reports to. Choose the network belonging to the phone you carry day to day.

How long does the battery last, and can I replace it?

Xiaomi rates the CR2032 cell at about a year of use. It is a standard coin battery you can buy anywhere and swap yourself, so the Tag does not become disposable when it runs down.

Does it have precision finding like an AirTag?

No. The Tag uses Bluetooth rather than ultra-wideband, so you get a location on the map and a sound to home in on, but no on-screen arrow guiding you the last few metres.

Can it survive rain or a spill?

It is rated IP67, which covers dust and brief immersion in fresh water under lab conditions. Everyday rain and splashes are fine; treat prolonged submersion, salt water and pressure washing as outside the rating.

Could someone use one to track me?

Both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub run unwanted-tracking detection, so a phone that notices an unfamiliar tracker moving with it over time will alert you and help you locate it. That protection is part of the network rather than the Tag, which is one more reason the network choice matters.

How far away can I track it?

Direct Bluetooth range is roughly 100 metres in the open, and much less through walls. Beyond that you are relying on the finding network, so coverage is best where there are plenty of phones and patchier in rural areas.

Battery life, range and network features are manufacturer figures and depend on conditions and firmware version. Find My and Find Hub are Apple and Google services respectively; availability of individual features is set by them. The specification on each product page takes precedence.
