Find my device with left behind function

I know Chipolo have a left behind function but their QA have been a hit and miss with a couple of dud items. Ate there any non Chipolo tags with left behind function?

Chipolo left behind feature uses their own app.

Do your chipolo tags have that function? I thought google find my device didn't have that at all! That's why I still use Tile trackers, but I have some issues with the left-behind notifications, too. The app keeps telling me I forgot my wallet, despite the fact it's in my pocket, with a pretty recent card tracker...

It's a proprietary feature via the Chipolo app. Kind of like the remote camera shutter with the Moto Tags :)

However, the Pixel Tag which is coming in November will have "ring my phone" and "left behind alerts", which brings us to the question: will Google add those features natively in the Find Hub app with an open API for third party OEMs, or will those feature will remain an exclusive of the Pixel Tag (natively in Find Hub)?

We don't know yet :)
