As reported by TechRadar, at yesterday's Google I/O event, the company announced an update to the Find My Device feature. The update will soon allow you to track your valuables using third-party Bluetooth-enabled trackers while also warning you about the presence of unwanted or unrecognizable AppleAirTags or other tracking devices.
Unlike Apple's proprietary "Find My" app service, the new Google Find My Device will anonymously use billions of Android devices worldwide to help you track your lost or stolen devices. Sure, that seems incredibly invasive, and although it may be a great thing to be able to find your missing device, even if it is offline, it might just feel a little too Big Brother-ish for some.
