  And indeed today, I got a notification on my phone that the
functionality is live and enabled (and with a pointer to the settings,
so you can check/change them).

  For now, I've kept the 'Find your offline devices' setting set to
'With network in high-traffic areas only'.

(Other settings are 'Off', 'Without network' and 'With network in all
areas'. All with panels which can be opened to see explanations of each
choice.)
