Perhaps the greatest features in the smartphone era of cell phones is not it’s touchscreen. It’s not it’s fast internet connection, and it’s certainly not it’s ability to algorithmically keep my eyes glued to TikTok for hours on end. No. The best thing about smartphones, particularly iPhones, is the Find My app. This thing has saved me in a jam on more than one occasion. If you’ve misplaced your phone, or your earbuds, or smart watch, you can locate it immediately in the Find My app (or if you’re on Android, in the Google Find Hub app). This little miracle can save you thousands of dollar when you think something of your has been lost forever, but really you just left it in the booth at the diner you were just at.
You may or may not know this, but you can extend this functionality outside the realm of smart products. Something like the UGREEN Bluetooth tracker can be clipped onto to practically any belonging and provide you with that same real-time location tracking. Right now, Amazon happens to have a four-pack of the trackers on sale for 38% off. Normally, this bundle sells for $50, but the discount takes it down to just $31. That’s now only a bit over $7 per tracker.
The UGREEN trackers work with both the Apple Find My app and the Google Find Hub app. With it, you can now keep tabs on your keys, wallet, and other valuables. You can even share the location with family members so everyone can help keep and eye on the stuff that’s important. And underrated use for these types of trackers is to add it to your luggage when traveling. It only takes one time of learning your luggage didn’t make it on the flight with you to understand the value in being able to track your suitcases around the globe.
Lost Item Alerts & Lost Mode
When your items like your keys or wallet exist the range of your phone, the app can be set t ping you with the item’s last known location. This way you can retrace your steps with intentionality. If you have no luck in finding it because it may have been moved, you can decide to activate Lost Mode. Lost Mode will let the UGREEN tracker ping any nearby Apple or Android device so a Good Samaritan will be able to remotely access it to see your contact information.
The trackers are battery operated and can be charged via USB-C. Each charge should keep the tracker activate for around a full year before it needs to be recharged once again.
