I'll just wait for tracker using the Find My network to come out. At least it's going to be more universal and not Samsung-specific.
They already are, at least here in the UK. I’ve got a bunch of Eufy tags, work great.
I thought they didn't support android?
Sorry, I’ve just discovered from this thread that apparently Google has its own Find My! I was referring to Apple’s, sorry about that.
Are you sure? The only brand Google mentioned making devices that supported their new Find my Device network was Pebblebee and Chipolo.
I have a Chipolo One tag but it won't be compatible with the new Find my Device network.

Chipolo tags delayed and no update from the company since July 27. Very close to requesting a refund at this point.
As far as I know. We're waiting on Apple to update iOS to locate rogue trackers. Google was holding off on the summer release until this was done. I can't imagine Apple will rush to get this done to slow the release of a competitors product.
Would be nice if they could be flashed with a different firmware, so that you could convert it to Google Find My network to avoid ewaste.
They will also support Tile (though it will probably require new devices).
