Do I need an extra app or a subscription?
Neither. Orbit Tag pairs with the Find My app that is already on your iPhone, and locating it through the Apple Find My network costs nothing, there is no account to create and no monthly fee.
Which Apple devices is Orbit Tag compatible with?
Any iPhone or iPad running iOS 14.5 or later and signed in to iCloud. It registers as an "Other Item" in Find My, exactly like Apple’s own accessories do.
Does this iPhone tracker tag work with Android?
No. It is built for Apple Find My only, so there is no Android app and no way to pair it with an Android phone. Please only order it for someone who uses an iPhone or iPad.
How far away can I ring it, and how loud is it?
Bluetooth reaches up to 60 m / 200 ft for ringing the tag directly, and the alarm is 80–100 dB. Past that range the Find My network still reports its last seen position on the map, anywhere in the world.
What happens if I walk off and leave something behind?
Find My sends a left-behind alert to your iPhone as the tag drops out of range, with the last confirmed location pinned so you know exactly where to go back to.
How long does the battery last, and can I change it myself?
Up to 2 years on the CR2032 coin cell fitted at the factory. When it runs flat, twist the back off and drop in a replacement. CR2032 cells cost a couple of pounds in any supermarket. Note that spare batteries are not included in the box.
Is it all right in the rain?
Yes. Orbit Tag carries an IP67 rating, which means dust-tight and sealed against rain, splashes and short submersion.
What comes in the box?
2 × Orbit Tag trackers, 2 × key rings and a quick-start manual. Both tags arrive with their batteries already fitted; there are no spares.
How quickly does it arrive, and what does UK delivery cost?
Delivery is free on every UK order with no minimum spend. Orders leave us within 1 working day and usually arrive 3–5 working days after that.
Can anyone else see where my things are?
No. The MFi certified chip means location data is end-to-end encrypted through Apple Find My, so it is visible to your Apple Account and nobody else, not us, and not the manufacturer.
