Finally Google Find My Device Network Is Available Now

After a long wait, Google’s new ‘Find My Device’ network is available now to avoid scenarios where you lose your Android devices and aren’t able to find them. 

This new Find My Device network will help users quickly and effortlessly locate lost Android gadgets. Although Google took a long time to launch this new network, the reason behind this delay was concerns regarding the potential stalking using Bluetooth trackers. Thanks to the update with iOS 17.5, which includes anti-stalking features.

Google announced its new Find My Device network on Android devices, which is compatible with Android 9 and the upper version. The availability of this new network starts in the US and Canada, with a global rollout planned for the upcoming weeks. 

The aim behind developing this network is to be secure and private through the integration of multi-layered protections, such as end-to-end encryption of location data and aggregated reporting of the device’s location to prevent unauthorized tracking, just to ensure that the user is in control of devices connected to it. 

The latest update has been released for the Find My Device application, which arrived with version number 3.1.000-4. After installing this update, the app will show the message “You can now locate your devices and accessories, such as earbuds and trackers, even when you are offline.”
