Losing your keys inside your own home is one problem. Losing them somewhere out in the world, where only a stranger’s phone might stumble across them, is another entirely. That second scenario is exactly what Bluetooth trackers like Jio’s new JioTag 2 are built for, and this time, it doesn’t matter whether the person who eventually walks past your keys is holding an iPhone or an Android device.
What’s actually new here
Up until now, Jio split its tracker range by operating system entirely. There was a JioTag Go built exclusively for Android, and a separate JioTag Air built exclusively for iOS, each locked to its own ecosystem. Anyone wanting to switch phones later, or living in a household where some people carry iPhones and others carry Android, was stuck picking a side.
The JioTag 2 does away with that split. A single unit now works with Google’s Find Hub network for Android users and Apple’s Find My network for iOS users, without needing two different products for two different phone types.
There’s one open question Jio hasn’t fully answered yet: whether the tracker actively reports to both networks at once, or whether a user has to pick one during initial setup. Jio’s own product page doesn’t spell this out clearly, so anyone specifically buying this for cross-ecosystem flexibility might want to confirm the exact behaviour before assuming it works both ways simultaneously.
What it costs, and where to get it
Amazon India currently has exclusive access to the JioTag 2, priced at Rs 1,249, listed under the slightly longer name “JioTag (2nd Generation)” even though the box itself just reads JioTag 2. A handful of bank card offers knock the effective price down closer to Rs 1,199.
Worth noting for context: Jio’s earlier single-platform trackers technically carry the same Rs 1,499 sticker price on Jio’s own site, but real-world Amazon pricing tells a different story, the Android-only JioTag Go typically sells for around Rs 999, and the iOS-only JioTag Air for as little as Rs 449. Put next to those numbers, the JioTag 2’s Rs 1,249 price tag for genuine cross-platform support looks like a reasonable trade rather than a steep premium.
On colours, there’s a small mismatch worth flagging honestly. Amazon lists the three available options as Grey, Olive, and Red, while a number of publications covering the launch have referred to the same units as Black, Green, and Red instead. Functionally it’s the same three colours, just described differently depending on where you look.
How it works day to day
The JioTag 2 pairs over Bluetooth Low Energy and includes a 120-decibel alert tone that can be set off remotely through the companion app, handy for the classic “I know it’s somewhere in this room” moment. Step outside Bluetooth range, and the tracker switches to relying on other people’s nearby phones, both Android and iOS devices running the relevant Find networks, to quietly relay its last known position back to you. This is the same basic principle Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s SmartTag already use, strength in numbers rather than a built-in SIM.
Speaking of which, there’s genuinely no SIM card, cellular plan, or subscription fee involved anywhere in this. A Lost Mode option is also included, so if someone else’s phone happens to walk past your misplaced bag, you’ll get notified.
Powering all this is a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery, rated by Jio for roughly a year of use, with a spare cell thrown into the box so you’re not left charging or hunting for a replacement immediately. The tracker’s shell carries an IP64 rating against dust and light water exposure, and includes a small loop for clipping onto a keyring, backpack zip, or suitcase handle.
One Tracker That Works With Both Android And iPhone
By collapsing two separate, ecosystem-locked products into one tracker that works regardless of what phone you or your family members carry, Jio has effectively brought back the flexibility its very first tracker had, before the lineup got split into Go and Air variants. It also puts the JioTag 2 in more direct competition with pricier rivals like Apple’s own AirTag and Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag, at a noticeably lower cost. For anyone weighing Jio’s tracker lineup specifically, the JioTag 2 is the safer long-term pick if there’s any chance you’ll switch phone ecosystems down the line, or if your household already mixes Android and iPhone users under one roof.
