Google Launches Find My Device Network for Android

The new network allows users to locate lost devices and items using a vast network of connected Android devices, with enhanced privacy and safety features.

Google's Find My Device network goes live, enabling Android users to locate lost phones, tablets, and Bluetooth-tagged items through a vast network of connected devices.
The network, compatible with devices running Android 9 or later, offers encrypted location data and various safety measures to prevent misuse and stalking.
Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro can be tracked even when turned off or the battery is dead, enhancing the network's utility.
Users can opt out of the network, and location data is not shared when devices are at home, ensuring privacy.
Third-party Bluetooth trackers from brands like Chipolo and Pebblebee will be compatible with the network starting May.
