Pebblebee is adding a free, helpful feature to already-purchased devices.
Today, it announced that its Clip Universal Bluetooth trackers, which are compatible with iOS and Android devices, are being updated to include an Alert feature that sets off a siren and strobing light when a user wants help.
Pebblebee started selling Android trackers in May 2024 in three different form factors: an AirTag-like Clip version, a credit card-shaped Card SKU, and the smallest version, Tag. In October 2024, Pebblebee announced Universal versions of those trackers that can use both Google's Find My Device and Apple's Find My networks (although not simultaneously).
