Android’s new Find My Device network, first announced way back at Google I/O 2023, is finally here. But it’s not just a simple update to the current Find My Device service; it’s an upgrade that will actually let you locate your devices, whether they’re connected to the internet or not, and alert you to unknown trackers nearby. It’s similar to Apple’s Find My network. But the improved Find My Device network could, with wider release, become even better and more capable than Apple’s Find My network.
Google's Find My Device network on Android is okay, but Apple's is better
Here's everything you need to know about the new Find My Device network on Android and how it helps you.
The new Find My Device network is a location-tracking network for Android phones and tablets with Bluetooth. Devices that have signed up for the service can ping and mark the location of other devices (that have also signed up) via Bluetooth, creating a larger network where you and others can safely find lost items.
With over a billion Android phones accessing the Play Store every day, this is going to be a massive network.
