Google's Take on Apple's AirTag May Have Just Leaked
If you're looking for a Bluetooth tracker to keep tabs on your stuff, your choice may be platform-dependent. Over in the Apple ecosystem, your first (and perhaps best) choice is an AirTag, made by none other than Apple itself for its Find My network. On Android, you have more options, but not in quite the same way as Apple: Samsung has a tracker that works best with its Galaxy devices, while Tile has its own proprietary network.

You would think the best choice would come from Google directly, seeing as the company also develops Android—but that isn't the case.Not only is Google not the default option here, it isn't an option at all. Despite creating Android and maintaining its Find Hub network (similar to Apple's Find My), the company doesn't have a tracker device of its own.
