With the Google Find My Device network, it really expands out to more devices and usage. Looking foward to buying a Google Find My Device tracker for my next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTW, you can opt out from this network if you are worried about security. Here is how it can <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/android\/answer\/14796936?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=7651004&amp;sjid=16487921073814358636-AP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">find your offline devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding your offline devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lost device may not always be online. To help you find your offline devices, Find My Device can also collect, store, and use encrypted location information sent by your Android device and others participating in the Find My Device network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging the power of a crowdsourced network of Android devices, the Find My Device network can help you find a wide range of items, including Android phones and tablets that are offline, Fast Pair accessories like compatible earbuds, and tracker tags that you can attach to physical assets like your wallet, keys, or bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The network has been developed with advanced safeguards, including end-to-end encryption, to help protect the privacy of everyone participating in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>How does crowdsourcing work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android devices participating in the Find My Device network use Bluetooth to scan for nearby items.

Your Android device does the same to help others find their lost items when it detects them nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has rolled out Find My Device network.
