Google Starts Rolling Out Updated Find My Device Network
Restrictions in Initial Phase
Google has launched its upgraded Find My Device network, but its availability is currently limited to the United States and Canada. This means that only Android users residing in these countries will receive emails and on-device prompts regarding the new crowdsourced network.
Global Rollout Confirmed
Google has confirmed that the global rollout of the upgraded Find My Device network will be completed over the next few months. Although no specific timeline was provided, the company aims to make the service available worldwide within the year.
Empowering Android Devices
The new Find My Device network leverages the collective power of billions of Android devices to locate one another using Bluetooth proximity. Google is also set to release Bluetooth trackers similar to Apple’s AirTag, which will be compatible with the Android network and expected to hit the market by May.
