Google Developing AirTag Clone to Track Personal Items using 3 Billion Android Devices

Google is reportedly working on a new tracking device similar to Apple’s AirTag that will allow users to track and locate their items using the company’s 3 billion Android devices network. The device, which is still in development, will utilize Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and the GPS capabilities of nearby Android devices to track the location of the item.

The device is expected to be small and lightweight, making it easy to attach to personal items such as wallets, keys, and bags. The device will also feature a built-in speaker emitting a sound to help users locate lost items. Additionally, users can set up virtual boundaries, such as a radius around their home or office, and will receive notifications when the device crosses these boundaries.

One of the key differences between Google’s version and Apple’s AirTag is its compatibility with Android devices. Google’s device will be compatible with all Android devices running version 6.0 or later, giving it a wider reach than Apple’s AirTag, which only works with Apple devices.

The release date and pricing for Google’s AirTag clone have not been announced yet, but it is expected to be a more affordable option than Apple’s AirTag. This will make it accessible to a wider audience, as it will be available to a large base of Android users.

The move to develop this device comes as Google looks to expand its portfolio of hardware products and increase its presence in the Internet of Things market. With this device, Google aims to provide users more convenience and peace of mind in keeping track of their personal items.
