Version 23.33.16 (190400-560149061) (233316044) Let's see what this new thing is all about... "The Find My Device network piggybacks off of all Android phones with Google Play Services to help users find lost items..." "In the latest beta version of Google Play Services, v24.12.14, a new Find your offline devices is appearing in the Settings menu for some users." "This leads to another page with options to find devices without the network, with the network in high-traffic areas, and with the network all of the time. Users can also turn the feature off entirely. By default, the option is turned on & to all areas." "Google's Find My Device network has been slow to come to all Android devices, but if you buy a supported tracker, it will be activated during the initial setup phase on your device." "You can check if you have the network on your device. Open the Find Device app, tap on your profile picture, and then tap Find My Device settings. From there, you'll know if you have the network live if you see Find your offline devices and the menu it brings" "If you don't yet have the network, be sure to accept any app or system updates. Google is rolling this out as a server-side update, so you shouldn't need any other updates, but it generally helps to be on the latest available version." "Android devices participating in the Find My Device network use Bluetooth to scan for nearby items. If they detect your items, they securely send the location where they detected the items to Find My Device. Your Android device does the same to help others find their lost items when it detects them nearby." "You can control how your Android device participates in the network at any time by visiting Find your offline devices in the Find My Device settings.
