Are there any non-Apple equivalent of AirTags?

Definitely admire this girl's persistence. And shame on United for handling this so poorly.

Google's copy is coming out "soon" [1], though the launch has been recently pushed back[2].

Tile works with all phones, Android and iOS

Just installed the Tile app: doesn't run on Android. I have Play Services installed (stock Samsung firmware) but it complains that something is wrong with the Play Services and the only option is to close the app. Based on the layout, the pop-up is from Google Play themselves and the app (prompting me to log in) would work fine if I could just click that pop-up away like one could on the web.

So it doesn't run on any Android, it runs on Google Play Services (not all androids have this), and for some reason not on my device despite having the google backdoor services installed exactly to avoid this sort of shit

Does Tile work with iPad Air? It’s not listed on their support page. https://support.thetileapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/200424778-T...

There are plenty of alternatives. But without Apple’s moat of high iPhone adoption, they aren’t very useful.

Chipolo's ONE Spot if you want it to work with the Apple Find My network or ONE Point if you want it to work with Android Find My Device.

The ONE Spot is iPhone only fyi to those who are curious if there is a way to get acess to Apple's mesh on Android

Not really, nobody has the mesh network that Apple does. Biggest copmetitors like Tile just simply do not work as well
