Google’s expanded Find My Device network might arrive in a few days


Google’s new network works like Apple’s Find My setup on iPhones.

In an email spotted by 9to5Google, Google tells users it will turn on the feature in three days, which uses data from millions of other Android devices to find the location of missing phones and accessories — similar to the tracking tech used by Apple and Tile. The email says users can use the network to “find any compatible Fast Pair accessories when they’re disconnected from your device” or offline, including earbuds, headphones, and trackers, 9to5Google reports. Some Android users are already starting to see a new “Find your offline devices” setting in the latest Google Play Services beta, so it might not be much longer until we see an official rollout.
