Google's Find My App Just Got a Lot Better

Have you seen AirTags and wished for an Android equivalent? Google's recent efforts into Find Hub are finally paying off as this tracker has AirTag-like accuracy with Ultra-Wideband support.

Motorola's flagship tracker finally gets UWB support

A year after its launch, Motorola's flagship tracker, the Moto Tag , now supports UWB tracking. It's also the first Find Hub (formerly known as Find My Device) tracker for Android to support UWB.

If you have a Moto Tag, however, tracking won't magically get easier. First, you'll need to update the Moto Tag app to version 01.00.073.10-Release. The updated app is slowly rolling out through the Play Store, but if you don't want to wait, you can download the updated version from APKMirror at your own risk.

The next step is to update the Moto Tag's own firmware, which can only be accessed from the updated app. This new update, version 2.0.93, is the first to roll out since version 2.0.69 was released in early 2025. The changelog for the new update clearly states that it includes UWB functionality, and APKMirror owner Artem Russakovskii has confirmed that the update includes the much-anticipated UWB functionality.

Once your Moto Tag is updated, you should be able to access UWB tracking in Find Hub. Of course, you'll also need to update to the new Find Hub app if you haven't already. If the setup went correctly, you should be able to see arrows indicating the direction and distance to your Moto Tag.

This isn't the easiest process to implement, especially considering that each Moto Tag needs to be updated individually. There are other hurdles to UWB tracking as well, including smartphone capabilities, which are typically limited to flagship Android devices.

Can Android Trackers Finally Compete with AirTags?

UWB tracking on the Moto Tag seems to work as expected, but the user experience isn't as seamless as Apple's offering. Both AirTag and Moto Tag have similar features and both tags cost $29, so the difference comes down to user experience and whether you're using Android or iPhone.

One benefit of being in the Apple ecosystem is that the user experience is consistent across the board, even when using AirTags. Android, on the other hand, has a plethora of tracking device options, all with different features and price points. However, this means that the user experience and tracking accuracy can vary significantly. You can try using AirTags on an Android phone, but their functionality is quite limited.

Android still has a long way to go when it comes to trackers, but Moto Tag is a good start. Now that Find Hub and Android finally have UWB trackers in their hands, more manufacturers will follow suit with their own devices and experiences. Adding UWB to Moto Tag may not be enough to beat AirTag, but it certainly opens the door for different companies to release more UWB-compatible trackers on the market.
