Google has officially launched its highly anticipated Find My Device network, allowing users to track their devices even when they’re offline. This global rollout begins in the US and Canada, promising an enhanced tracking experience for Android users worldwide.

If you live outside these countries, it might take some time before you use this tracking feature on your Pixel 8 device.

Google eyes for the global rollout of Find My network device for Pixel 8. This feature will help users track their devices even when there is no internet or mobile data.



Previously, the Find My Device feature was only effective when a device was connected to the internet. With the new Find My Device network, however, users can locate offline devices using over a billion Android devices globally, leveraging Bluetooth proximity for accurate tracking, Google writes in its recent blog post.

Exclusive Features For Google Pixel 8 Lineup

Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro owners will enjoy exclusive perks, as specialized Pixel hardware enables device tracking even when shut down or with a dead battery. This feature, likely to extend to future Pixel models, enhances the user experience and sets Pixel devices apart from the competition.

Expanded Compatibility

In addition to Pixel devices, the Find My Device network is compatible with Bluetooth tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee, with support for more brands coming soon. Users can attach these tags to various items like wallets and keys for seamless tracking, even without built-in Bluetooth.

Privacy and Security

Similar to Apple’s Find My network, Google prioritizes privacy and security in its Find My Device network. Users receive alerts for unknown trackers, ensuring data integrity and protection against unauthorized tracking. 

End-to-end encryption and aggregated device location reporting further safeguard user information.

Enhanced Features

The Find My Device network offers a “Find nearby” button for precise location tracking and integrates with Nest devices for added convenience, according to TechRadar. Users can share device tracking with trusted contacts while maintaining privacy, ensuring collaborative tracking without compromising security.

Long-Awaited Release

After delays in coordinating with Apple’s rollout of unknown tracker alerts, Google’s Find My Device network is finally live, delivering an array of advanced tracking features. 

With this rollout, users can expect a seamless tracking experience across various devices and brands.

With the Find My Device network in place, speculation arises about the potential launch of Google AirTags, rivaling Apple’s AirTag. As Google continues to innovate in the tracking technology space, users anticipate the arrival of new devices to complement the robust Find My Device network.

It is expected that the search engine giant will improve its tracking capabilities to catch up with well-known tracking features.

In early March, Tech Times reported that Gemini Nano AI would not run on Pixel 8 because of hardware limitations. However, the Pixel 8 Pro is not exempted from this restriction.
