AirTags are the tracker everyone knows, but they only work with an iPhone. If you ride with an Android phone — or your household is a mix of both — here is how bike tracking works on Android.

What is Google Find Hub?

Find Hub is Google's app and network for finding lost devices. It used to be called Find My Device, and Google renamed it in 2025. Like Apple's Find My, it uses nearby Android phones to spot compatible Bluetooth tracker tags and securely report their location back to the owner. There is no SIM card and no monthly subscription.

How it finds a stolen bike

  1. Your tracker sends out a small, encrypted Bluetooth signal.
  2. Any Android phone on the network that passes nearby picks it up.
  3. That phone reports the location to Google, encrypted, and it appears on your map in Find Hub.

The more phones pass by, the more often it updates — so a bike in a busy suburb reports far more often than one in a shed in the bush.

The one setting that matters most

Find Hub can be set to only report a tag's location in high-traffic areas. That protects privacy, but a stolen bike stashed in a quiet suburban garage is exactly the place you need a location from. When you pair your tracker, choose With network in all areas. Our Android pairing guide walks through it step by step.

One tracker for Android and iPhone

Most trackers are sold as an Apple version or a Google version. Every Track My Bike tracker works with both — pair it with Find Hub on Android or Apple Find My on iPhone. If you switch phones, you can re-pair the same tracker to the other platform (just not both at once).

Hide it where a thief will not look

A tracker is only useful if it stays on the bike. Ours hide inside parts your bike already has — the stem top cap, the bottle cage or the rear reflector — lock on with Torx security bolts, and ship with the audible anti-stalking alert disabled so there is no beep to follow.
