www.androidauthority.com
The Moto Tag is now available, though it's hard to find at the moment and you'll likely have to settle for the 4 pack.

TL;DR

  • The Moto Tag is now on sale directly through Motorola.
  • Individual units will run you $29, while a four-pack is $99.
  • The new Moto Tag is backward compatible with Air Tag accessories and even supports UWB.

    I thought that wasn’t launched yet? Do they backport and enable that per default to compete with the mass of iPhones, or is it going to be a rare occurence that a tracker gets reported?

      I have a pebblebee, which uses the FMD network.

      It’s pretty obvious that the network isn’t as robust as Apple’s. I expect it’ll improve.

        Hopefully but probably not as it seems everyone online wants to disable or turn off the initial minimal setting.

          I know that’s the general sentiment for online discourse. I think it amounts to a rounding error in terms of total population. I’m confident it’ll improve. Maybe never be better than airtags… But I expect better than now.

            Good luck. Don’t think it we’ll ever be better unless Google changes the default.

      It should be compatible on most android smartphones running the latest version of play services. The default should work for lost smartphones and items in high traffic areas. So, tracking in low density areas may be spotty.
