Google Adds "Remove from Find Hub" Button for Bluetooth Headphones

The change ends years of account clutter by letting people unlink sold or old earbuds so their Google device list shows only active gear.

Overview

  • Google's Find Hub app, which received the update on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, now displays a "Remove from Find Hub" option that lets users delete Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, and other audio accessories from their Android device list.
  • Reporters and users found the feature in a quiet rollout and confirmed it works across many brands including Pixel Buds, Nothing, JBL, OnePlus, and Sony.
  • The shortcut’s placement varies by model and UI so some devices show the control on the main device page while others hide it in a settings menu.
  • Some older hardware still cannot be removed with the new button and may require a factory reset or account reset to clear lingering entries.
  • The update fixes a long-standing problem that left sold or passed-on audio gear listed indefinitely and could reduce support calls and privacy confusion for users who sell or recycle accessories.
