The Xiaomi Tag or Xiaomi Tracker is a bluetooth tracker device developed and manufactured by Xiaomi. Its designed to work as a tracker for personal objects (like bags, luggage, keys and more). It was announced globally on February 28 of 2026 in Barcelona, in the Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC26).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The Xiaomi Tag with a "double-nationality" software compatible with Apple's Find My Network through agreements like the Find My Network Accesory Program. And with the Find Hub Network from Google.[7][1][3][8][9]
To pair a Xiaomi Tag, wheter its a device with Android or iOS/iPadOS, its initial setup for basic use requires hardware capable of running Android 9 (Android Pie) or iOS 14.5 (including later versions). It requires a Google Account or an Apple ID with iCloud set up respectively.[3][7][9][10]
The device has two available versions, the base and global version, that only has Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and near-field communication (NFC) technology, and the version compatible with ultra-wideband technology, often referred as the "pro" or "premium" version, only available in the People's Republic of China and in southeast Asian countries.[11][12]
Features
[edit]The user can interact with a Xiaomi Tag in the Find My Device app in Android devices, and in the Find My app in iOS/iPadOS devices. Both can check its approximate location on the map, make the device ring and see the status of the CR2032 battery and mark the device as lost.[13][3][9]
Xiaomi Tags are not compatible with the Xiaomi Home app and they will not appear on its device list.[13][14][6]
To help avoid unwanted tracking, if a unknown or unregistered Xiaomi Tag moves with a user for a prolonged time, its device, whether its Android or iOS will notify him through the Find My app or Find My Device app respectively[3][6][15]
Users can mark their Xiaomi Tags as lost, showing contact information in a temporal web page trough near-field communication if an Android, iOS or Windows 10 Mobile brings their device close to the tracker.[16][13][6][3]
The design and construction of the device consists of a polycarbonate body with metal frames at its edges. The device has Bluetooth 5.4 chip with 100 meters of reach in open spaces. For a proper power, the device has a CR2032 replaceable battery with one year battery life according to its producer. The device has dust and water ingress protection IP67.[17][3][4][13][5]
Criticism
[edit]Lack of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology
[edit]One of the recurrent criticism and limitations of the Xiaomi Tag (on its global version) is the lack of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in its hardware. Which prevents it from using features like Precision Finding, that require ultra-wideband technology for accuracy, trusting exclusively on Bluetooth 5.4 and its integrated sound to find objects.[18][4][17]
