Hi all,

I have been looking in to buying some smart Tags to attach to my gym bag and dip belt. A few times I have left the gym and realised I have left one of the above. Luckily every time I have gone back fairly quickly after realising and retrieved my belongings.
In the past I have lost water bottles, strength grips, gym towels, and my old dip belt I have own for 20 plus years, and it even had my name, mobile number marked on the belt with permanent marker.

So I have been looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tags to attach to my new dip belt, bag etc. However the tags do not beep with my phone goes out of range, oh no you have to go on to google maps when you remember that the said item is missing, and it will display it's last know location !
That is not a great lot of help if you realise a day or two after you notice the item missing !

What other make of Tags does have the the facility of alerting my android phone when it goes out of range of a smart tag ! ?

Tile was recently acquired by Life360 who have been found to be selling location data.

Yes & No...

“Our philosophy has been first ... be open with our users with what we are doing,” Hulls said, “and give them control.” The Life360 app defaults to consenting to sell user data and would need users to opt out within the app settings to prevent sharing of their personal data.

Works fine without subscription, not really needed to use them. It only enables premium alerts etc

OP is after out of range alerts, which seems to be under Tile's premium subscription tier. Samsung's tags don't offer the feature at all. I'm not aware of any other smart tags compatible with android which could offer this feature at all, and for free.

You can "notify when found" on Tile FOC, which will mark it as lost and when another phone finds it, it will update the location
 
I have got the Samsung smart tag and smart tag +. Also tile slim wallet tracker. and also a keysmart max(after having the keysmart pro) And I find them all really good.

Apart from the smart alerts from tile. I dunno if it is me but for example when I leave my wallet at home I am supposed to get a notification when I leave the house. i eventually get the notification quite a distance from my house. (a bit late then), the best feature of the tile premium is if you use their other battery enabled devices they automatically send you new batteries.
I find the Samsung smart tag + far better. but to take advantage of the extra features you need to have the latest phones(which I do s21 ultra)
