When will Apple release their wallet size tracker?
Possibility never, but they do have a MagSafe wallet with find my integration.
@@imatleast12 Maybe never, but the MagSafe Wallet is not a Bluetooth tracker. It will only report the location where it fell off your phone. Thus not being useful. There are some companies, (maybe Apple) working on true Bluetooth MagSafe wallet though.
IDK, but I can't wait!
@@shawnashoemaker3864 Oh nice good to know.
@@shawnashoemaker3864 Yes, I didn't realize that until AFTER I spent $60 on it!
Range test video! Would love to see how the cards compare to the other tags!
Thanks for the idea! Once it warms up, I'll be hitting the field.
@@TrackThisNThatcome on, throw on a jacket and hook us up 😉 I can’t wait & winter is just getting started. Thanks for your vids
@@TrackThisNThatBtw doesn’t the Ekster wallet tracker also have double tap to find phone?
Your blur didn't cover your email btw, incase you really didn't want your email to be shown. Few frames show it
Thanks I appreciate it.
Still I didn't learn in the video how these devices work 🤷🏻♂️ is there a subscription fee to pay in order to use them or not?. Also what's the range?
Watch the individual videos if you want to know what a Bluetooth trackers is and what it is not. This is a comparison video for people who already know what they are, and generally, they all work the same and have the same Bluetooth range. Some companies claim 200 feet, some 400 feet, However, I will soon do a head-to-head to see which one performs better in the max distance. Understand that there will always be thousands of factors, and it will be different each time you misplace it. My test will only place 2-3 similar trackers in a similar situation and environment to see which one does better. It will still be different in the real world.
Being able to charge it is a key feature
I agree. Everybody has different needs & priorities though but I would like to see all of them able to be recharged.
Thanks, really helpful 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
Do these send an alert saying a device is traveling with you like apple air pod?
All of these devices are compatible with Apple Find My, offering the same features, security, and privacy protocols that come standard with the Find My system. (It's not the device, its the network that detects if a device is traveling with you)
I just lost my wallet with a eufy wallet tracker and it was not precise I did end up getting my wallet back though within 30 hours and some manpower. It was showing that it was in a building and I walked the building with the security, but it wouldn’t pick up like an AirTag. AirTags will tell you within a certain amount of feet and show you where it’s located. This would just tell you that it’s nearby.
Sounds like youre talking about the percsise finding feature thats shows visually instead of sound but Apple AirTag is the only "Find My" tracker with that feature. But if you can hear it, (not in a noise area or hard of hearing) I find that I can find it fast with sound over using percise finding feature. But in your building, you've would have had the same issue cause you still need to be within the same range. (about 30 feet or less indoors)
range test please 🙏
I'd pick the EUFY, though isn't that company owned by Anker and didn't they have major security flaws on their network/server with the webcams etc?
Eufy was the company that had that was sending video unencrypted to their servers. LoL
so which has the longest range?
Does this do the same thing as the apple airtag and notify some that they are being tracked ?
Yes, all Apple Find My trackers use the same app and has privacy and anti-stalking features.
how thick is the Eufy? did you misure it?

I'm happy with my pebble bee have lost my keys a few times and it helps and it helps my find my phone also almost daily lol i like reverse ring
You must have the old verison of the pebblebee card or have the card working only in the pebblebee app, not the apple find my app, if you have the reverse ringing.
@@TrackThisNThatwhat do you mean, the new version doesn’t have that feature?
chipolo double press makes your phone ring, not sure why you think the eufy one is the only one that does that
No, the Chipolo (Find My version) DOES NOT have the double press to ring your phone. Only the Chipolo that works with the Chipolo app has that feature, but that verison does not work simultaneously with Apple Find My like Eufy. There are now 6 verisions with 3 different apps. Apple Find My, Google Find My Device and the Chipolo app.
Does the eufy one work if you only want to use it in the FindMy network and not use their app? Not referring to the reverse find feature since that seems locked to the eufy app.
Yes, you can use it solely in Find My if you want. You are correct about the reverse finding feature. But fingers crossed, there are some rumors....lol
What’s a nfc sticker
th-cam.com/video/9AqDn3sMVDA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IZGnnMOy4gkLRnfl
The tile also have reverse find my phone
Tile DOES NOT work with "Apple Find My" Tile only currently works with the Tile app, which has the reverse finding feature, not "Apple Find My"
Will it ping strangers nearby Apple devices like the air tag does?
Ping in actually making a noise. No. Ping as in connecting via Bluetooth/FindMy, yes. These all work on Apple Find My.
Great videos dude I'm a new subscriber, question if I can, I'm an android user and I love the answer you gave about apples find my network effectively using people's iPhones to ping your airtag well out of Bluetooth range, does Tile cards or tile mate or any other android device do this for Bluetooth trackers out of range? So if I had a tile card 700 meters away would an Android users phones send out a signal to my card saying this was the last location, I have been reading online seems it's coming but no clear answer?
Currently Only other Tile users anonymously report the connections location. However, google announced android find my which will work like apples find but will include new Tile trackers along with a bunch of other brands. These will probably be new Tile trackers and the old Tile will not work with Android Find My but will still work with the Tile native app. I hope that helps.
Apple needs the reverse finding feature in Find My. I don't want to use a third-party app
I agree, it would be nice if it was built into the iPhone. Apple does have other ways to ring a iPhone so I don't know if they will ever allow it directly from bluetooth tracker. I hope so!
@@TrackThisNThatApple Watch can make iPhone ring
Do these notify a thief they’re being tracked like the AirTag?
All Find My items have the same security settings but Bluetooth Trackers are NOT designed for STOLEN ITEMS, Do not buy them for stolen items! They are for misplaced and lost items.
@@TrackThisNThat of course many people use them for stolen items. For a start, GPS trackers cost a lot and require line of sight with satellites, so not a lot of use indoors. Their batteries also run out very quickly.
No super product so far
Apple only major benefit is the accurate location. Other than that, apple major weakness is the low audio level + needing a case for hanging which easily drops the audio level by ~50% compared to Eufy or ither#
Thanks
Welcome
Do any of these work with Android?
Sort of, but why? There are card trackers for Android. These featured in this video are designed specifically for Apple's Find My! Android Find My devices are not out not yet out, but once it is, I'm sure they will have models for Android Find My. *But if you have to get one now for your Android phone, I recommend the Tile Slim.* The Pebblebee "Card" can also be used with the Pebblebee Android app, but not simultaneously with Apples Find My. Plus, their native app is not great and is a small network of users. Eufy did but now they adverstise that they don't anymore but mine still in my Android so I dont if it still is. Plus it doesn't have network of users.
Can you completely disable the push button after setup on any of these?
I had the chipolo spot and every time I’d sit on my wallet it would beep. Support said it couldn’t be disabled. Then it cracked in half and stopped working…
Because all of these work in Apple Find My, Apple does not allow that feature currently. However, cause Eufy works simoutounsly with Apple Find My and the Eufy app, they offer a false press protection that elimates accidental sounds. There will be no sound produced if you long press the button. This feature was recently added after this video. You can still double press the eufy to find your phone (reversing finding feature)
Stop putting your wallet in your back pocket. It's an easy target for pickpockets. Literally nothing valuable should go in it.
Chipolo one spot sucks! Mine broke very fast also. I now have a pebble bee and it’s been holding up. My wife’s Chipolo still works (no back pocket action) but it was making a racket the other day because the button was being pressed somehow.

I don’t like stalkers so I get the stalker alert. I’m not a stalker though and want a device on my work trailer and my boat, both at storage often. I don’t want these devices to notify the thief that they have a device tracking them. Does pebblebee let them know. Does it make a difference which app I use, find my or pebble bee etc. Thank u so mich
I have never seen ANY bluetooth tracker designed for stolen items. THEY ARE NOT! Do not use them for stolen item. They are for lost and misplaced items only! Please look into GPS trackers with cellular communication and other devices like LoJack for direct and fast tracking that "might" be designed for stolen items.
@@TrackThisNThat of course many people use them for stolen items. For a start, GPS trackers cost a lot and require line of sight with satellites, so not a lot of use indoors. Their batteries also run out very quickly.
Prices?
Affiliate links are in the description to show current prices.
I would compromise on the 2-3 year non chargeable / unreplacable battery and take the rechargeable one tbh.
I like recharging a lot too, but the reverse finding does come in hand now and then since I don't always wear my apple watch.
The Eufy smarttag does a far better job at finding my device if its not within the home and requires connecting to other devices.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Shame they don't do one for android 😞
There are Wallet Trackers for Android. The PebbleBee Card seen in this video also has an Android app, but you can only use it with one app, and I didn't find the PebbleBee App to be reliable. So the best choice for Android users is the Tile Slim for Android users - th-cam.com/video/o36cTyYHVdI/w-d-xo.html.
Why wasn't the Tile included in this review?
Becasue it doesn't work with Find My.
Tile can be located by one of hundreds (or maybe a thousand) of phones running the Tile app. Find My uses ALL of the BILLIONS of iphones to locate a device.
Where did you get that amount of people using the Tile from? I don't have a trendy iPhone so I can't say I know the amount of iPhone users that are out there. I'd like to know where I can get that information. Or how you got it.
How good is the Tile network?
As a company, Tile has become synonymous with trackers the same way Kleenex is with facial tissue. Its trackers offer the second-largest crowd-finding network, as well as impressive range. You can also use a Tile to remotely trigger a lost phone to ring, something you can't do with AirTags.Nov 18, 2022
@@JasonLoveman Tile has sold more than 35 million devices, not including products from more than 30 partners with its technology built-in, which make up its network that spans 195 countries. it surprising that you got information that says that only a thousand people have downloaded the app. Wow out of 35 million. That's a low percentage
Anyone know if this works with Android yet
No, these are all Apple Find My trackers. Android Find My has not been offically released (to the besst of my knowledge) but I have seen some brands offer pre-orders but it's a different tracker alltogether (or I'm assuming so since its sold that way) There are rumors of all them working together eventually but right now it seems you'll have to pick one or the other. (Eufy does have their native app (both on ios and android) and when I did the orginal eufy smarttrack video, I was able to get it in all three. But since then, their they have added only ios to their marketing but I still have it in my andoid eufy app and the ringing works. You can see that video here - th-cam.com/video/eHuchvxpxJk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Lyw-9YYnVZsdTBMG
Nice
Thanks
What is the use of pushing a button on the chips to make your phone ring if your wallet is lost? How are you going to push the button if your wallet is lost and the chip is in your wallet?
Only the Eufy has the reverse finding feature. Otherwise, the button is just for setup. Reversing find is useful if you misplace your phone and you have your wallet (or keys with the eufy key version) . It will ring even if your phone even if your phone is on vibrate. The button gives you an additional way of finding your phone, that's all. If you lose both at the same time, there are other ways to make your phone ring too.
@sjt66 The pushing the button is for the situation where you can't find your phone, for example it's slid down the chair, you get out your wallet, grab the card and press the button to ring your phone.
I went through a couple chipolos and eventually gave up and got a wallet with an AirTag slot
Why? I am thinking the same thing but I did not try chipolos or other products.
Chipolo been had the double tap
Not in their Apple Find My models. Don't get confused between their orginal Chipolo Card and the Chipolo Card Spot.
non-replaceable battery on the eufy is lame
yeah its a shame, but atleast its the only one with a reverse finding feature and still works with find my.
anyone sit on their wallet a ton? want to make sure the button wont go off ever
Once activate, the button on the chipolo and pebblebee doesn't do anything cause Apple doesn't have the reverse finding feature. It possible but rare that the those two tracker will make a slight beep if you double-sit on it. However, eufy is also connect to the eufy app that allowes the reverse finding feature so a double tap will ring your phone. You can disable this feature in the eufy app. Th eufy app also has false press prevention setting to prevent it from making a sound but this setting doesn't prevent it from ringing your phone if you have that feature on. (This prevention setting is only for long press)
tile also make your phone ring
But Tile DOES NOT work with Apple Find My. These are all Apple Find My trackers.
Chipolo sucks big time customer service is horrible get away from that brand
Truly awful customer service
Can’t even replace the battery on those wallet trackers lol it’s a joke
The PebbleBee you can recharge as long as you don't lose the wire. I've seen two newer wallet trackers with Qi charge but the battery life is between 5-8 months and there are few brands working on a replaceable battery model but nothing thats come to market yet.
It is exactly the same like the airtag - but not this and that. So - not exactly the same..
“It doesn’t have UWB. That’s the only difference.” 😂😂😂 Well, then you can’t exactly compare them to Airtags, but how about the wallet insert for AirTags. Could you compare that?
I have plenty of Airtag wallets and inserts but nothing will compare to a true bluetooth wallet tracker simply cause of the thickness. The Airtag will always be a 8mm thick no matter what wallet or insert you put it in, where as the wallet trackers I'm talking are about at 2mm. These are the best Airtag-like WALLET trackers on the market.
There is also the Momax PinCard for $22
There are 10-30 additonal credit card like find my trackers that have come out, all of which are pretty simlar expect for the ones i've posted about on this channel. Nothing special about the momax card?
00:29 what does the nfc do?
If you mark it as lost in the Find My app, you can leave contact info and then when someone scans the NFC, it will take them to a website with your info. It can also be used in smarthome automations by programing your phone to trigger the automation when the NFC is detected. Make sense?
