Google launched Find My Device (FMD) network in US and Canada to help locate lost Android devices. Support for more devices coming later.
-
FMD uses Bluetooth proximity and device aggregation to locate devices. Encrypted for privacy.
-
Compatible with Android 9 and up. Enabled by default when Find My Device app installed.
-
Chipolo, Pebblebee, Eufy, and JioTag trackers will work with FMD network starting in May.
-
Allows locating lost devices in proximity to Nest devices in your home network as a reference point. Can't provide turn-by-turn directions to lost device.
