What decides it

Four things to sort out before you buy a luggage tracker.

Your phone

An AirTag needs an iPhone or iPad on iOS 26 or later. For Android, pick a tracker that works with Google’s Find Hub. Some work with either, but you choose one at setup.

How it finds your bag

Each tracker sends out a Bluetooth signal, and passing phones on the same network report where it is. The map shows where your bag was last seen, so a recent sighting tells you the most.

The battery

Some run on a coin battery you swap, and others recharge with a USB-C cable. All three here last about a year, so check the level in the app before a big trip.

Some airlines take your tracker’s location with a lost-bag report. Qantas accepts a Find My or Find Hub link, but not Samsung SmartTags yet. On other airlines, ask at the baggage desk.

The picks

Why we chose each one, and who it suits best.

Best overallApple AirTag (2nd generation)

If you carry an iPhone, this is the tracker we’d put in your case. It joins Apple’s Find My network, which is made up of more than a billion iPhones, iPads and Macs.

When you’re close, you can play a sound on it, and this version’s speaker is louder than the first AirTag’s. On most recent iPhones, Find My can also show how far away it is and which way to walk. That’s handy when your case is one of a hundred black ones in a lost-luggage office. You can share its location with more than 50 airlines, Qantas among them, so the baggage team can see where your case was last spotted.

The catch is the phone. You need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later to set it up and see it, so if anyone in your house uses Android, the other two picks suit them better. It runs on a standard coin battery that lasts more than a year, and your iPhone tells you when it’s time to change it.

Best for AndroidChipolo LOOP

This is our pick if you have an Android phone and want one good tracker for your main case. It works with Google’s Find Hub app on Android 9 or later, and with Apple’s Find My on an iPhone, so it suits either phone. It only joins one network at a time, though. To move it from one to the other, you remove it from the app and set it up again on the other phone.

The soft silicone loop is the nice part for luggage. You can tie it to a zip pull inside the case without buying a holder. It’s loud when you ring it, and it’s rated IP67, so it can sit in up to 1 metre of fresh water for 30 minutes.

It recharges with a USB-C cable and lasts up to a year on a charge, but there’s no charger in the box. On Android 12 or later, the free Chipolo app adds an alert that tells you if you’ve walked away and left your bag behind. It’s the dearest of the three for each tracker, so if you’re tagging more than one bag, the UGREEN pack works out much cheaper.

The priciest of the three per tracker

Best valueUGREEN FineTrack Duo (4 pack)

This pack of four costs less than a single Chipolo, so it’s the one we’d take on a family trip. That’s one for each of two suitcases, one for the carry-on and one left for the pram bag or backpack. Like the Chipolo, each tracker works with an iPhone through Find My or an Android phone through Find Hub.

Each tracker can only pair with one system at a time, though. So in a house with both iPhones and Android phones, set up each tracker on the phone of whoever’s carrying that bag. Some features need iOS 17 or Android 9 or later, so check your phone’s software before you buy.

They recharge over USB-C, with a small plug that keeps dust and moisture out of the port, and a full charge lasts up to a year. When a tracker moves out of range, the app can send you an alert with where it was last seen (on Android, you turn on Lost Mode first). For a single bag on an iPhone, though, we’d still take the AirTag.

What we like

Four trackers in the pack, enough for the whole family's bags
Works with an iPhone or an Android phone

Worth knowing

Each tracker pairs with an iPhone or an Android phone, not both at once

Final thoughts

Check your phone first: an AirTag needs an iPhone, and an Android phone needs a tracker that works with Google's Find Hub app, like the other two here. Then think about how many bags you're tagging, and tuck each tracker inside the case, in a pocket or tied to a zip pull.

The AirTag suits anyone with an iPhone. The Chipolo LOOP is our pick for one bag on an Android phone, and the UGREEN four-pack suits a family, or anyone with more than one bag to keep an eye on.
