Google has launched the Find My Device (FMD) network in the US and Canada, allowing Android users to locate their lost smartphones and tablets. The feature will also be compatible with more headphones and earbuds in the future.
Well, well, well. If it isn’t another iOS-like feature coming to Android . Android already has Bluetooth tracker tracking through third-party offerings like Tile. However, Apple came out with its AirTags, which everyone in the walled garden bought, and then Samsung decided to join in with the Galaxy Tag, which works exclusively with Samsung devices. It was finally time for Google to figure out an Android -wide solution to get up to speed with its competition.
The location you see pinpointed when you open the Find My Device mobile app comprises aggregated location information on the device you’re seeking and the other detectable ones around it. In a blog post, Google addresses potential security concerns with Android’s Find My Device network. The company explains how FMD is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that Google cannot identify the owners of the nearby Android devices that provided the location data.
