Motorola has officially announced the launch of its new Bluetooth tracking tag called "moto tag" that will help users keep track of their valuable items. The tag leverages the power of the Google Find My Device network and UWB technology to pinpoint the exact location of tagged items from almost anywhere in the world.
The moto tag is designed to work seamlessly with most Android smartphones and integrates with Motorola's device ecosystem. It can be attached to keys, wallets, luggage, or any other valuable item, giving users peace of mind knowing they can easily locate their belongings if they are lost or misplaced.

One of the key features of the moto tag is its enhanced privacy and security. It works with Google's Find My Device network, which is secure by default and private by design. User location data is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that only the tag owner or someone they have shared the tag with can view its location. The moto tag is also compatible with automatic unknown tracker alerts across Android and iOS, helping protect users from unwanted tracking.
