Google’s Find My Device network, a modernized version of the tracking system for lost devices, has been spotted in the latest beta of Google Play Services. While the network is visible, it is not fully operational yet. The official launch of this updated system is anticipated to take place around Google I/O 2024 in May.
Similar to Apple’s Find My network, Google’s new Find My Device network will utilize other people’s devices to help locate a lost device. However, the delay in the network’s launch is reportedly due to the need for Apple’s support to ensure its capabilities and security.
The activation of the Find My Device network marks a significant step closer to its actual implementation. It is speculated that the network may be fully switched on during Google I/O 2024, potentially introducing AirTag-like trackers that support Android devices.
Furthermore, the commercial debut of Google’s own tracker, known as “grogu,” and other third-party trackers may be unveiled at the Google I/O event. This presents an exciting opportunity for Android users to enhance device security and locate lost items more effectively.
