About this app

UWB Check answers three simple questions about Ultra-Wideband on your Android phone — without guesswork:

✓ Does my device have UWB hardware?
✓ Is UWB enabled right now?
✓ What can I actually do with it?

WE DON'T GUESS — WE ASK ANDROID
Every claim about your specific device is read directly from Android's own APIs. We don't look up your model number in a database and hope the answer is right. If your phone has UWB, Android tells us. If it doesn't, Android tells us that too — clearly and honestly.

NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED
This app needs zero runtime permissions. We check what your phone already reports to Android, and that's it. Nothing about you, your location, or your accessories is collected, stored, or transmitted.

LEARN WHAT UWB UNLOCKS
Once you know your phone has UWB, the real question is: what's it good for? UWB Check explains in plain language:
• Digital car keys — BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and more support phone-as-key with UWB precision
• Smart trackers — Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+, AirTag (iPhone-only), and what works with Android
• Phone-to-phone — Quick Share and AirDrop with direction-aware targeting on UWB devices
• Indoor navigation — airports, museums, and retail pilots using UWB for centimetre-level guidance

We're honest about what UWB can and can't do on Android. AirTag precision finding? iPhone-only. Samsung SmartTag2? Bluetooth-only, not UWB. The cross-platform UWB ecosystem is fragmented, and we tell you so.

WHO IS THIS FOR
• Anyone who's heard "UWB" mentioned and wants to know what it means for them
• Owners of new flagship phones (Samsung Galaxy S21+, Pixel 6 Pro and newer flagships often have UWB)
• People considering a UWB tracker or a car with a digital key — find out first if your phone can use them
• Tech enthusiasts who want a clear, factual reference on UWB accessories
