Set up your Android compatible device with the Pebblebee app

Updated by Marina

To benefit from some exclusive features that the Pebblebee app has to offer, like History Location, Left behind alerts and Find phone, you can claim your device on the Pebblebee app on both Android and iOS.

By adding your item to the Pebblebee app you will be part of the Pebblebee network of users. Your device won't be part of Google's Find My Network and location updates will rely on being close to the owners' phone or another Pebblebee user to update its location.
An item tracker can only participate of one network at a time. If you already added your device to Google's Find My Device app, you won't be able to connect with the Pebblebee app until you reset your device back to a factory state.
