The small white discs are easy to toss into a bag or clip onto your belongings, are easy to use and work well for tracking down valuables. In fact, one of our former writers was relieved to be able to use her AirTag to help find her <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/shopping\/apple-airtags-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">runaway dog.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>But these little tracking devices do have some limitations. AirTags are on the bulkier side, so they don\u2019t fit in a wallet. And, more importantly, they\u2019re instantly recognizable. If someone steals your bag or wallet and knows what an AirTag looks like, it\u2019s not hard to find it, toss it to the side and run. <\/p>\n<p>That sort of defeats the purpose. And it\u2019s one of the key reasons why some people have selected a much more discreet smart tracker: <a data-aps-asc-tag=\"nypost-20\" data-aps-asin=\"B0FVFTY4CG\" data-wrapped-template=\"https:\/\/r.nypostlink.com?btn_ref=org-19984c113c692001&amp;btn_url\" href=\"https:\/\/r.nypostlink.com?btn_ref=org-19984c113c692001&amp;btn_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSPOTMINDERS-Certified-Tracker-Rechargeable-Tracking%2Fdp%2FB0FVFTY4CG%3Ftag%3Dnypost-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fnypost.com%2F2026%2F07%2F28%2Fshopping%2Fusers-swear-discreet-tracker-is-a-lifesaver-its-not-an-airtag%2F%26asc_source%3Dweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-nyp-affiliate=\"true\">The SPOTMINDERS Apple MFi Certified Wallet Tracker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This simple tracker is designed to hide in plain sight. Instead of a round puck, it looks like a standard credit card, so it slides neatly into a wallet without adding bulk.
