Google Find My Device Network Launch Coming Soon

JAKARTA - The launch of Google's Find My Device network seems to be almost arriving. In an email found by 9to5Google, Google notified users that it will enable the feature within three days, which uses data from millions of other Android devices to find the location of mobile phones and lost accessories similar to the tracking technology used by Apple and Tile.

The email states that users can use the network to "find all compatible Fast Pair accessories when they disconnect from your device" or offline, including earbuds, headphones, and tracking devices, as reported by 9to5Google.

The email also adds that users will receive notifications on their device when the feature is enabled and that users can select to log out of the network via Find My Device on the web.

Google first announced the expansion of the Find My Device network already in I/O in 2023. However, Google has postponed the launch of the network as it awaits Apple to implement an unknown tracking alert for all tracking devices, not just AirTags.

But when Apple is ready to adopt broader anti-tracking specifications in iOS 17.5, Google's Find My Device network launch appears to be getting closer. Some Android users are already starting to see a new setting "Forge your offline device" in the latest Google Play beta version, so maybe soon until we see an official launch.
