- More detailed information has been revealed regarding the distance and direction guidance feature utilizing “UWB” on the “Google Pixel Tag.”
- An analysis of the APK files from the Android version of the “Find Hub” app version v3.1.763-04 update confirmed the addition of resource code related to a dedicated screen for the “Find nearby” feature, which uses “UWB” on the “Google Pixel Tag” to guide users with distance and direction.
- An AR feature will also be rolled out, displaying distance and direction on the camera feed, similar to the AR navigation “Live View” in “Google Maps.”
The “Google Pixel Tag,” a Bluetooth tracker tag compatible with Google’s device location tracking and sharing service “Find Hub,” was officially announced alongside the “Pixel 11” series of next-generation Google Pixel devices at the “Made by Google (Made by Google 2026)” hardware launch event.
As a “Find Hub”-compatible Bluetooth tracker tag, the “Google Pixel Tag” can be attached to keychains or slipped into bags, much like other compatible trackers like the “Moto Tag,” allowing users to locate items in the unlikely event they are lost or stolen. Furthermore, the “Google Pixel Tag” supports “UWB (Ultra-Wideband),” and the Android version of the Google Find My Device service app “Find Hub” will feature a function that guides users to the exact distance and direction of a nearby “Google Pixel Tag.”
Now, more detailed information has come to light regarding this distance and direction guidance feature utilizing “UWB” on the “Google Pixel Tag.” We bring you the details through our original app file analysis report content, “App Analysis,” here at “Jetstream.”

An analysis of the app files from the Android “Find Hub” app version v3.1.763-04 update, released on Thursday, October 8, 2026, confirmed that resource code related to a dedicated screen for the “Find nearby” feature—which uses “UWB” on the “Google Pixel Tag” to guide users with distance and direction—has been added. The newly added “Find nearby”-related resource code includes “Show directional arrow,” which suggests enabling an arrow display indicating the direction to go; “Update Google Play Services for AR,” which prompts updates to “Google Play Services for AR” required for camera-based guidance; and “Can’t show distance or direction,” which appears when neither distance nor direction can be measured.
While it was already clear at the time of the announcement that the “Google Pixel Tag” would feature the “Find nearby” function utilizing “UWB” for distance and direction guidance, it has now been revealed that it won’t just simply display the distance and direction on the Android “Find Hub” app screen. It will also roll out an AR feature that displays distance and direction over the camera feed, much like the AR navigation “Live View” in “Google Maps.”

<string name="spot_cannot_show_distance_or_direction">Can't show distance or direction</string>Additionally, the UI image for the “Can’t show distance or direction” screen, based on the resource code newly added to the Android “Find Hub” app, has also been uncovered.
The “Google Pixel Tag” is priced at 5,010 JPY (including tax) and is scheduled for release on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. I can’t wait.
