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.
If you've been dying to get similar location control of your Android gadgets and offline devices, you'll want to take advantage of Find My Device. You'll also want to participate in the network by allowing your Android phone to anonymously and securely contribute location data to the network to help others retrieve their lost objects.
Google has also built safety protections to prevent malicious actors from tracking and stalking people. It has also worked with Apple to implement a standard that will prevent cross-platform stalking.
You'll find everything you need to know about Find My Device on Android, which should explain why you should take advantage of the functionality.
