I chanced on an article (in Spanish) about the "Tile Life360 Slim" card
for tracking objects.
<https://www.xataka.com/seleccion/parece-tarjeta-localizador-para-ios- android-delgado-que-se-puede-colocar-cartera-pasaporte>
-a-a *It looks like a card, but it's a tracker for iOS and Android
-a-a that's so thin you can put it in your wallet or passport.*
-a-a A water- and dust-resistant tracker with a battery
-a-a life of up to three years.
I noticed it says that it works both on Android and iOS. Ok, that's
good. But wait, does it work truly on both networks, without installing
any app, that is, by default?
The article doesn't clarify. So I searched for a review. Found one:

Tile Slim (2024) Review
Oh, I didn't know it was from 2024. And the article says:
-2It works with both Android and iOS devices and relies on Bluetooth and
the Tile Network for tracking your stuff.-+
Ah! So it needs that people run the Tile app in background, which limits
its usability to a person moving around places where people run that app
(if you have it installed, it is bound to run). So it is not a device
that will work with both native networks of Android and iOS.
Sigh :-(

There are other options that will. Like the Pebblebee or Chipolo.

I read your post, and my first thought was "what about lots of other
things that get misplaced"?
Spectacles, plastic cards of all sorts, hats, umbrellas, kids' toys
(there's a scooter in some bushes near where I live!) etc.
A bit of googling led me to this site; a chip on glasses. https://www.amazon.co.uk/glasses-finder/s?k=glasses+finder
