Bluetooth trackers streamline everyday routines, but owning ones restricted to just Apple or Android can be inconvenient in households blending both ecosystems. The Ugreen Finder Duo addresses this by operating across both platforms. Currently, a four-pack is discounted 30% to $35 on Amazon.
Functioning like typical Bluetooth trackers, the Ugreen Finder Duo connects to Apple's Find My network or Google's Find My Device app. In close proximity, it emits an audible alert to aid in locating the item. Out of direct range, it relies on surrounding devices within the corresponding network for position updates.
Note that each tracker cannot connect simultaneously to both Android and Apple devices. Location data also cannot be exchanged between the iOS and Android applications. That said, in a home with mixed devices, acquiring one set and allocating trackers based on needs provides practical flexibility.
Enhancing its practicality, the Ugreen Finder Duo avoids battery swaps entirely, using a USB-C port for recharging instead. A full charge sustains it for roughly one year, minimizing the need for constant upkeep.
Lacking a requirement for dual-platform trackers? Ugreen provides budget-friendly alternatives: $30 for a four-pack of iOS-dedicated models and $33 for Android-specific ones. For broader compatibility, secure the $35 four-pack of Ugreen Finder Duo units soon, as the offer is temporary.
