Google has turned on its Find My Device network that lets you track lost Android devices and offline objects connected to Bluetooth trackers.
Google confirmed a few days ago that its Find My Device network would go live on Android in a few days. The feature would allow users to harness the massive network of connected Android devices to find lost Android phones and tablets, as well as offline objects that are connected to Bluetooth trackers. Apple already implemented this functionality with AirTags a few years ago.
Android users can opt out of the network Like Apple's Find My, the strength of Google's network is in the numbers. Even if you don't want to use trackers, you should still be a part of Find My Device on Android. Maybe your handset will help someone retrieve their lost belongings. But you can always choose not to participate. Also, if your home address is saved in your Google Account, your Android device will not provide Find My Device network information while at home.
