What is a 'tracker device'?
A tracker device, like Google's new Pixel Tag, is a small gadget designed to help you locate lost items. It typically uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone, allowing you to see its last known location on a map or make it ring if it's nearby. It's a handy way to keep tabs on keys, bags, or even pets.
