Having a smart tracking device is a lifesaver. It is frequent for us to misplace our keys, wallet, glasses, remote control, and more. The time and effort we spent looking for these things are inconvenient and can compromise other activities we need to do.

Thanks to Bluetooth tracking devices like Apple AirTag and Samsung SmartTag, the time we have to spend searching for our lost remote, keys, wallet, or even a pet is lessen. You no longer have to turn your house upside down to search for your items. With the AirTag or SmartTag, you can use your phone to track these things.

To use the advanced technology offered by both Apple and Samsung, you need to connect your location tracking device to your phone’s app. Through the companion app, you can locate the whereabouts of your misplaced items. 

The smartphone app has a map that will display the approximate location of the item. As you go nearer the device, it will emit a sound until you stop it. 

The problem is when your Apple AirTag and Samsung Smart Tag run out of battery. If they do, you cannot track your items even when the device is on them. 

What you can do is check the battery life of your tracking device. That way, you can change the battery when necessary. Both tracking devices use the standard CR2032 battery which you can buy from any store.
