Choosing Between Apple Find My and Google Find Hub for Your DeviceUpdated 21 hours ago


Choosing the Right App for Your Clip, Card, or Tag

The new generation of Pebblebee Clip, Card, and Tag gives you full flexibility — whether you use Android or iOS. With support for both Google’s Find Hub and Apple Find My, Pebblebee has you covered no matter which phone you use.


Universal Flexibility

When you choose a Pebblebee device, you gain the freedom to track what matters most — across the world’s two largest finding networks. Here’s what each version supports:

  • Clip, Card, and Tag for Android → work with Google’s Find Hub and the Pebblebee App.

  • Clip, Card, and Tag for iOS → work with Apple Find My™ and the Pebblebee App.

  • Clip, Card, and Tag Universal → work with either Google’s Find Hub (Android) or Apple Find My™ (iOS), along with the new Pebblebee App.


Which App Should You Use?

Your ideal app depends on your phone type, preferences, and how you plan to track your items. Below, you’ll find key differences to help you decide.

Choose Google’s Find Hub App

Compatible with:

  • Universal products, or Clip for Android, Card for Android, and Tag for Android

Best for:

  • Tracking in busy areas or when you’re not close to your item.

  • Using the Google Find Hub Network to locate lost items through nearby Android devices.

Features:

  • Works with Android 9+ (most brands, selected regions)

  • Leverages Google’s global finding network

  • Share your item with others for joint tracking


Choose Apple Find My™ App

Compatible with:

  • Universal products, or Clip for iOS, Card for iOS, and Tag for iOS

Best for:

  • Locating your items in large or crowded spaces with Apple’s private, encrypted network.

  • Tracking anywhere worldwide using Apple’s Find My Network.

Features:

  • Works with iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 or later

  • Access Apple’s secure global network

  • Ask Siri or use your Apple Watch to find items

  • Share your item with family or friends

  • Get Notify When Left Behind alerts


Switching Between Networks

Using one network disables the other. You cannot use Apple Find My and Google’s Find Hub simultaneously.

To switch:

  1. Factory reset your Pebblebee device.

  2. Pair it again with your desired app — either Google’s Find Hub or Apple Find My.

Note: Once your device is connected to a tracking network, you can also add it to the Pebblebee App for advanced options like firmware updates and custom alerts.
