Google he said that the revamped Find My Device service, currently rolling out in the US and Canada, will soon be available worldwide. The service supports devices that have the Android 9 or a later version.
Η Google blog post says that with its vast network of over a billion Android devices, the new Find My Device will let users find their phone on Google Maps even if they're offline. If you have a Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro smartphone, Find My Device will work even if the phone is turned off and with a completely empty battery.
In addition to the ability to find smartphones and tablets, Google will also release a new Find My Device feature in the near future. The company states:
From May, you'll be able to track everyday items like your keys, wallet or luggage with Bluetooth Tracker tags από την Chipolo και την Pebblebee στην εφαρμογή Find My Device. Αυτά τα tags, έχουν δημιουργηθεί ειδικά για το δίκτυο του Find My Device, και θα είναι συμβατές με ειδοποιήσεις monitoringς σε Android και iOS για να σας προστατεύουν από ανεπιθύμητη παρακολούθηση. Αργότερα φέτος θα έχουμε Bluetooth tracker tags από τις eufy, Jio, Motorola και άλλες Companies.
Επίσης, από τον Μάιο, η εφαρμογή Find My Device θα διαθέτει και ένα κουμπί "Εύρεση κοντά" ή "Find nearby" που θα σας καθοδηγεί σε ένα χαμένο αντικείμενο που υποστηρίζει Bluetooth tracker tags.
Google says the new Find My Device service includes privacy features such as end-to-end encryption of location data. It also has what it calls aggregated device location reporting, which will help protect against any hackers who want to use that data to monitor a home or location.
