Google's Crowdsourced 'Find My Device' Network Launching April 8 with Privacy Protections
-
Google's Find My Device network will launch on April 8th to help locate offline Android devices and Fast Pair accessories.
-
The launch was delayed so Google and Apple could implement industry standard protections against malicious location tracking.
-
Settings began rolling out in beta, then Google emailed some users about the April 8th launch date.
-
The network will be opt-out and on by default when launched.

It leverages crowdsourced location from Android devices to help find lost devices even when offline.
