Picked one of these up today. They are pretty sweet. I was a little bummed to find out that the Airtags now have precise finding for people being followed (Stocked) by the Airtags. For theft purposes I put an Airtag in my car. I removed the speaker so if someone was to steal my car, they would not be able to find the Airtag as easily. It used to be that if the Airtag is following someone for a certain amount of time, it would show a notification on their Iphone saying an Airtag is following you. The only way to find the Airtag was to play the sound. Then once you found it, you could remove the battery and it no longer would be tracking you. This was ideal for an anti-theft device if you removed the speaker. I was easily able to do this and if you hid it well enough no one would be able to locate it in my car if they stole it. HOWEVER, NOW this all changed. Now Apple has the option for someone to locate an unwanted airtag's with the precise finding feature now. This means that if you have an Iphone 11 or newer, someone can pinpoint exactly where you hid your Airtag in the car without even playing the sound. No matter how good of a hiding spot you have someone can locate it and disable the Airtag. This is really unfortunate but I understand this was not the intended purpose for the Airtags. However, with these EUFY Tracker, you can remove the speaker and this does not have the precise finding feature like the Airtags. So if you remove the speaker and hide it well, no one will be able to locate the Tracker in a stolen item like a car or a bike.

Thank you so much for doing this review 👌 I have eufy and super happy with their cameras.

[@TrackThisNThat]

You're welcome. Me too! I was surprised to see a Bluetooth tracker from them. Eufy really does have some great products! I hope they are able to get their line back into Apple Home with Matter.

[@matheus4089]

Does the EUFY tag have the same range as the AirTag? I read the AirTag range is only 20 ft, or 9 meters. In other hand, the EUFY tag reaches over 80 meters, is that right? Have you ever tested the range?

[@bucwredny]

Is it possible to change the ringtone for locating your phone on iOS? I can’t stand the old Mac Donald tune

Thanks for pointing out both the + and -

[@TrackThisNThat]

Youre very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@hydrohasspoken6227]

Would be great if sound volumes were compared. The Tile is the loudest. The Airtag, if the device is hidden under stuff, you will hardly hear it

[@TrackThisNThat]

Thanks. I put sound levels in all my reviews so you can see the decible difference, but sound is also subjective and some sounds people will hear better than others.

[@dustyroads834]

I guess we know what company Apple is buying next.

[@TrackThisNThat]

If Apple's customer would demand it, they can simply allow this feature in their next verison. It'll be cheaper and better for them to do it themselves.

[@bahhaziz]

They just gonna copy their features 🤷🏻‍♂️ Apple has done it before with other features

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Thank you. Been waiting or a review of these

[@TrackThisNThat]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@shawnashoemaker3864]

I don't understand why Apple's Find My doesn't have the reverse finding feature built in. I would think its a feature that most users would use.

[@TrackThisNThat]

It is a great feature to have. I know Apple has a bunch of other ways to ring your phone but they are not as conveniet as havng a bluetooth tracker. Eufy really thought outside the box here and they firgured out how to do it anyways.

[@tdjkkvkjdd5624]

Great suggestion, we will develop such software immediately.

[@joecool5728]

I have eufy indoor and outdoor cameras that I love. I want to use one of these trackers for my car keys. Do I need to leave bluetooth on my phone "on" all the time to use this, or can I just turn bluetooth on whenever I need to find my keys? Also, is it best to set up the tracker in the eufy app first before discovering on the iphone in "find my"?

[@TrackThisNThat]

I also love eufy cameras. You can turn on/off bluetooth and your phone will reconnect to it when within range. FYI: I notice in newer iOS, Find My still works with AirTags even if bluetooth is turned off, but I haven't tested it on thrid party devices yet. I set mine up first in Find My.

[@Saudi4Arabia]

Can i get the history of the locations of the eufy?

[@saimahussain8161]

Will other nearby people know there is a eufy tracker near by? Like does it notify them on their phone like the apple air tags tells apple users that there is an air tag near by.

[@TrackThisNThat]

It's a Apple Find My thrid-party tracker so yes it has the same safety features.

[@shabagiuly]

Do we need to let eufy app running all time in the background to have the ring the phone feature ? Thanks !

[@TrackThisNThat]

You need to have it installed but not running in the background. Once you shut it down, it won't work for a little while, but it always has worked after a couple minutes.

[@shabagiuly]

Thanks !

[@marcdalmeida7970]

Make sure you switch location to always on in the settings. Mine didn’t work until I troubleshot.

[@MrLittledirector]

Can you set this up on an iPhone, and track the location on an android phone via the Eufy android app?

[@jackwong64]

Thanks for the video, precise location is very important, I would go for Apple airtag.

[@TrackThisNThat]

You're very welcome. To each their own.

[@mibox4934]

What is the working principle of this device, is it short distance Bluetooth or does it work remotely with simcard? can you write?

[@TrackThisNThat]

These are bluetooth trackers, not GPS tracker with celluar communication.

[@robertmiller7849]

Have you checked out Eufy's new bluetooth card?

[@TrackThisNThat]

Yes, its pretty awesome but I wish it had a replaceable or recharageable battery.

[@kishaavila7608]

Will iphone advise you that and eufy device is following you?

[@TrackThisNThat]

All 3rd party Apple Find My items have the same anti-stalking feature as the AirTag.

I couldn't find the option to share the device location with another person (family member) through the Apple Find My app.

[@TrackThisNThat]

Listen carefully - 1:21. (FYI: Find My sharing is coming out in ios 17)

[@PerfectorZY]

For the dual phones pairing, did the original owner need to approve allowing the device to be paired to another device?

[@TrackThisNThat]

Both phones had the same account login information (both origainl owner) and no notifcation/approval of another login was recieved.

[@Larsbor]

So does it work with android? Can my child use it and share it with me, when the child has an Android and I have Iphone, or will it say the child has a stalker? or the friends has a stalker? … ?

[@TrackThisNThat]

They are no longer marketing this for andorid. (FYI: Android Find My has been announced and Google mention they are trying to work with Apple for the greater good and hinted that the "find mys" might work together but thats still a rumor. I hope they do.

[@notthefirstryan]

Any chance you know what causes the sound that plays at 3:09 in? We have several of these in our home and I can't figure out for the life of me what's causing them to randomly play that specific tone.

[@TrackThisNThat]

From my understanding, Airtags and other find my trackers will make that sound if the tracker is moved and the owner is not connnected to it. Its apart of Apple Anti-stalking feature. If you are near it and its still making sound, make sure you keep your bluetooth on and update your phone to the latest iOS.

[@notthefirstryan]

@@TrackThisNThat no unfortunately it's not that sound. I'm familiar with that tone. I couldn't easily find an example of that tone in the video but it's definitely different melody/tone.

[@F.MOfficialUSA]

Does this tag notify other iPhones user while there Bluetooth is ON when the tag is not with me ? Does it say its following them like AirTag does? Thanks

[@TrackThisNThat]

If you’re talking about AirTags anti stalking feature, then it’s works the same as an AirTag. That goes for all “Find My” Bluetooth trackers.

[@toshihoo]

Does your iphone still ring even if it is in silent mode?

[@yahabibi6891]

How does it compare to the Tile?

If you're an iOS user, its a no brainer, get the eufy. If you use Android, you have to get Tile.

[@ListingViews]

My wife *wants* me to track her with either this or the AirTag. How often is her phone going to alert her that someone else’s tag is near them? If it’s going to be constantly annoying her, it’s not going to work.

[@TrackThisNThat]

It's pretty often. Why not just track her via her phone?

@@TrackThisNThat, we were trying that, but my phone couldn’t find her. However, I updated to iOS 16 last night and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

More important how does it work with Android, Eufys statement about Android is confusing?

[@TrackThisNThat]

I would avoid it with android! The community finding (or whatever you want to call it) feature doesn't exist in the eufy app thus any other bluetooth tracker that has the smallest community is better. (FYI: Go for a Tile if you have android)

[@mobilefiscus]

Bit late to the party but... It works like a cheap ebay Bluetooth keyfinder with android. If your phone can connect to it, the app knows where the tag is otherwise not so much...

[@gpmelendez]

Is the location sharing live and accurate?

[@TrackThisNThat]

Hi thanks for watching. This is Bluetooth Tracker, not a GPS tracker. It DOES NOT have real time tracking. When shared in Eufy app, you do not have the abilty to ring it (as I mentioned in the video) and it will show the last location it connected to an iphone (or other apple device) but understand it is not in real time and it has no other way to commuicate unless a phone is around. I hope that helps.

[@gpmelendez]

@@TrackThisNThat yup what I meant was if the location is shared in an "airtag kind of realtime" way. Thanks for answering!

[@mp3llll]

I dont understand, this work with Apple Tracker via other iphone a round?

[@TrackThisNThat]

This is a Bluetooth tracker just like an AirTag and requires other iPhones to be around to get a GPS location and to report the location of that connection. THIS IS NOT A GPS TRACKER!

[@TrackThisNThat]

I don't understand what your asking but if you asking if this can work without yours or someone else Apple device within bluetooth range. The answer is no. This does NOT have GPS or cellular so it has to been near someone apple device to update the location of the connection. Make sense?

[@REYNAIPE2012]

@@Issa2Bella correct, it can also connect to someone else iPhone. It does NOT have GPS nor cellular connection.

[@keith606]

Can you add an NFC tag to the Smart Tracker and it will allow the level of precision like an Apple AirTag in finding your lost item?

[@TrackThisNThat]

Precision Finding does not use NFC (Near Field Communcition) so adding a NFC tag would not give you precision finding. If you meant UWB (Ultra Wide Band), that is a chip thats internal so you can't add it. Plus according to my sources Apple does not allow third-party devices to work with UWB, yet!

[@turkeyphant]

Absolutely useless unless you use an iDevice. Also does anyone know why mine keeps playing a tune about 2x per day. Very annoying...

[@mobilefiscus]

Because it's cheaply made and the button built in either keeps getting touched or is shorting out. Update the airtag via the app and then update the app itself and it enables a 'mute the button' switch. Seems to have solved my similar problem.

[@turkeyphant]

@@mobilefiscus no it actually seems to be because my iPhone is off it thinks someone is trying to stalk me. Very annoying.

[@itsjustweard2328]

Okay so this is no good for tracking my cat

[@TrackThisNThat]

Depends on what your needs are and your understanding of what this device does or does not. Most people don't understand them.

[@meekopal2369]

An AirTag, even if the speaker is removed, could be easily located by thieves using a precision finder. I believe Apple should add an option so that once an AirTag is reported lost, any iPhones that the AirTag is not registered to would be incapable of locating it. This way, the unit would continue to signal its location to the rightful owner. However, a potential concern arises: what if criminals exploit the same option? It's not my responsibility to provide Apple with ideas to enhance the security of their products for the benefit of end-users. They have talented individuals with bright minds and recieves huge paycheck to address such challenges.

[@JamrsRC]

Absolutely useless and a waste of money. Shame the tracker does not want to be tracked.

[@ThePunis-Her]

U buy an extra to ring your Phone? My Apple Watch does this for free...

[@TrackThisNThat]

You don't buy these to ring your phone. You buy these mainly to find your misplace items. However, Its an addtinal feature that other Find My trackers don't have and makes it a better option for some. As not eveybody has an apple watch, or wears their apple watch 24/7.
