Pick a tracker that matches your phone. Apple Find My tags work only with an iPhone, iPad or Mac, and Google Find Hub tags work only with Android; each tag in stock at Buyrouth works with one or the other. These AirTag-style trackers have no GPS: they send a Bluetooth signal that nearby phones on the same network pick up and report anonymously, so you see the tag's last known location on a map. At Buyrouth, iPhone tags cost $13 to $22 and Android tags $13 to $19.

How AirTag-style trackers work

A tracker is a small Bluetooth beacon. When it's near your phone, you can make it play a sound to find it under a sofa cushion or in a bag. When it's far away, any phone on the same network that passes nearby picks up its signal and uploads the location, encrypted, so only you can see it. That's why trackers are most precise where there are many phones around, such as in cities, airports and malls, and update less often in quiet areas.

What "Find My compatible" means

• Apple Find My: the tag appears in the Find My app (under Items) on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, with no extra app. The listings ask for iOS 14.5 or later; the tracking card asks for iOS 17.
• Google Find Hub (formerly Find My Device): Google's network for Android phones. The Loshall S10 listing asks for Android 9 or later.
• One ecosystem only: an iPhone tag won't show up on an Android phone, and the reverse. In a family with both, buy one tag per ecosystem.

Trackers for iPhone (Apple Find My)

• Loshall F02 Smart Tracker for iOS ($13): a compact square tag with a sound alert and one-touch pairing.
• Loshall Key Ring Bluetooth Tracking Device for iOS ($13): a replaceable CR2032 battery that the listing rates for up to 10 months on standby; 52 × 28 × 10 mm, about 12 g.
• Hoco E91 ($16): a CR2032 battery for 9 to 12 months, according to the listing.
• Hoco E100 ($18): 7.2 g with a CR2032 battery for 9 to 12 months; the listing names the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s or later.
• Waterproof Ultra-Thin Rechargeable Tracking Card for iOS ($19): card-shaped for a wallet or passport holder, rechargeable, and shareable with up to 5 people in Find My.
• Hoco E91H Smart Luggage Tracker ($22): a luggage tag with a name window, Qi wireless charging and up to about 3 months per charge.

Trackers for Android (Google Find Hub)

• Loshall S10 Key Ring Tracker for Android ($13): about 38 × 38 × 6 mm, a replaceable CR2032 battery and a Bluetooth range of up to 30 m.
• Loshall F11 Smart Tracker Tag for Android ($16): a key-ring tag with up to 10 months of standby, according to the listing.
• Loshall F09A Smart Wallet Tracker Card for Android ($19): credit-card size, rechargeable, with wireless charging and up to 8 months per charge.

Which tracker for what

• Keys: a key-ring tag such as the Loshall F02 (iPhone) or S10 (Android).
• Wallet or passport holder: a card tracker, which slips into a card slot.
• Suitcase: the Hoco E91H luggage tag, or any tag zipped into an inside pocket.
• Backpack or laptop bag: any tag, attached to an inside loop where it won't be seen.

Coin-cell tags run for months on a CR2032 battery that you replace yourself. Card tags and the E91H recharge instead, so set a reminder to top them up.

Privacy and unwanted tracking

Both Apple and Google warn people when an unknown tracker seems to be moving with them, to prevent misuse. If you lend a bag with a tag in it, tell the person, or they may get an alert on their phone. Trackers are designed for finding belongings, not for following people.

Frequently asked questions

Do these trackers work in Lebanon?

Yes. They work wherever phones on the same network pass nearby, and within Bluetooth range of your own phone you can make them ring. Location updates are faster in busy areas than in quiet ones.

Can I use an iPhone tracker with an Android phone?

No. Apple Find My tags work only with Apple devices, and Google Find Hub tags only with Android. Choose the tag that matches the phone that will track it.

Do the trackers have GPS?

No. They use Bluetooth, and their location comes from nearby phones on the network. That keeps them small and lets coin-cell models run for months.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. Apple Find My and Google Find Hub are built into the phones and don't need a subscription.

How long do the batteries last?

The listings give 9 to 12 months for the Hoco E91 and E100, up to 10 months standby for the Loshall key rings and F11, about 3 months per charge for the E91H and up to 8 months per charge for the F09A card.
