Google Find My Device Enhances Protection Against Tracking

Google has recently introduced a new feature in its Find My Device application that helps users locate their lost devices. This new feature now notifies users about unknown Bluetooth trackers that may be tracking them. The notification function is available for Android devices running on version 6.0 and above.

With this new feature, users can access details about the unknown tracker and its movement. Additionally, they can play a sound signal to help detect the tracker. The notification system is compatible with Apple Airtags and is expected to support other tracker models in the future.

When a notification is received, users can access additional information about the tracker and learn how to disable it. The update also includes a manual scanning feature that allows users to detect trackers in their surroundings.

In the near future, Google plans to launch a new version of Find My Device that will allow users to locate lost objects using third-party Bluetooth trackers. However, the launch has been postponed until the necessary security measures for iOS are implemented.
