That makes it the first tracker on Google\u2019s Find Hub network to support ultra-wideband tracking, which is superior to Bluetooth since it uses distance and directional arrows to guide owners with compatible phones to their lost tags.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To update your Moto Tag you\u2019ll need the 01.00.073.10-release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.motorola.tag&amp;hl=en_US&amp;pli=1\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.motorola.tag&amp;hl=en_US&amp;pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moto Tag app<\/a> from the Play Store. You can then apply the 2.0.93 firmware with UWB support. You\u2019ll also need a modern Android phone that supports UWB, which includes newer Galaxy and Pixel flagships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We can\u2019t blame Motorola for the delay here, since Google\u2019s Find Hub location app (previously called Find My Device) only\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/665754\/google-uwb-find-hub-rebrand-find-my-device-moto-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently lit up<\/a>\u00a0with UWB support. Samsung\u2019s network for its SmartTags has supported UWB since launch in 2020, while Apple\u2019s network for AirTags has supported it since launch in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-embed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArtemR\/status\/1932780738979758106\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View Link<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">My colleague Dom\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/google\/655319\/google-find-my-device-smart-tag-network-one-year-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently put Google\u2019s location tracking network to the test<\/a>, pitting a number of trackers, including the Moto Tag and Apple AirTag, against each other.
