The official launch of Google's Find My Device network is 8 April 2024 – or at least, that's what Google is emailing some Android users to tell them. As 9to5Google reports, some Android users received official Google emails on Thursday promising that "you'll get a notification on your Android devices when this feature is turned on in 3 days".
This is a really big upgrade, because the Find My Device network will use the power of Android's massive user base to help you locate lost or misplaced Android phones, earbuds and Tile-style trackers. It's been a year in the making because Google has been working with Apple to ensure that there isn't a repeat of the privacy worries that we saw around Apple's AirTags: the goal of Find My is to ensure that you can find your stuff without having to worry about malicious use of trackers by other people.
