1. How the Life Tag (Google-certified version) works and its positioning principle
Life Tag is a smart tracking device based on Google’s Find My Device service. It integrates a Google-authorized chip to communicate with nearby ALL Android devices via Bluetooth and uploads location data to the cloud, enabling tracking functionality.
2. Can Life Tag be used with both Android & Apple devices?
We have two versions of Life Tag for Android & iOS users respectively. Please make sure you choose the correct version that is compatible with your phone.

Life Tag uses Google’s Find My Device service, which leverages a global network of Android devices to provide highly accurate location data. The precision depends on the availability of nearby Android devices and the strength of their connection.
