Jio has recently introduced their new product, the JioTag Air, in July 2024. One of the standout features of this device is its compatibility with iOS devices. You can pair the JioTag Air using either the Find My app or the Jio Things app. If you use the Find My Network, it will accurately pinpoint and broadcast your location. However, if you choose to connect through the Jio Things app, the location radius is broader due to the limited spread of the Jio Things network.
Following the feedback, Jio has also launched the JioTag Go, which integrates with Google’s Find My Device. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to use the JioTag Go.
JioTag Go – Is it Better?
The JioTag Go works with Find My Device, offering a larger user network for enhanced location tracking and a smaller location radius. It supports fast pairing and can be shared with various Android devices. Additionally, it alerts you if someone is tracking you with an unauthorized JioTag.
How to Use JioTag Go
To activate the Tag Go, press and hold the physical button for 5-8 seconds until you hear a sound. To turn it off, press the button five times in quick succession, and a sound will confirm the device is off.
Connecting Your Device to JioTag Go
JioTag Go supports Google’s Find My Device and Fast Pair. You can connect via Google’s fast pair or manually. For Google Fast Pair, follow these steps:
- Turn on JioTag Go by pressing the power button for five seconds.
- Enable Bluetooth and location on your smartphone.
- A fast pair pop-up will appear; click "Connect" and agree to the terms and conditions.
- In the Find My Device app, log in with the email ID you used during the pairing process. The JioTag Go will appear on your dashboard.
Locating JioTag Go
Locate your JioTag Go using the app, which features Google Map support to guide you directly to the tag. When nearby, you can ring the JioTag to find it.
The Lost mode feature notifies you whenever your Tag’s location updates via the Find My Device network. It will automatically turn off once your device is connected to your JioTag. You can add a message and your contact number for anyone who finds it.
Noteworthy Features of JioTag
You can share your JioTag with friends or family via Email, WhatsApp, or SMS using the Share Device option. Adjust the volume intensity to high, medium, or low. If the ID connected to your Tag Go is logged into multiple devices, all can be used to track the JioTag Go.
The JioTag Go offers improved network coverage and pricing compared to its predecessors, as shown in the below comparison.
