Our phones will be ringing (figuratively)! The search for robotic companions for lost devices is over with Google unveiling Search Day for its Find My Device network.

Have given. measures.
Since August, it can be seen that users who signed up for the beta version of Google Play Services had the Find My Device network visible on their devices. Although the AI was only being portrayed hypothetically, it announced an imminent launch.
And guess what? Google confirmed it! The e-mails that were used to install the product were targeted to specific users and mentioned the biggest benefits – you can find your lost devices even if they are not connected to the net. , and you can find any items you need for work or rest, such as earphones and trackers. But the real news was buried in the last paragraph: “The launch will hit the market on Tuesday, April 9.” This would mean that the launch is probably scheduled for next week, say Monday, April 8.
We are happy to deliver this news to purpose-savvy Android users who have been expecting it for a long time. After the network is activated the system will send you a message that the system is ready on your device. Still, another way to erase your data in advance would be to take the help of the Find My Device web app, which however is slowly showing signs of being phased out.
An interesting feature here is the result of the opt-out: instead of selecting a single device, the entire Google Account, including all devices logged into that account, will be affected. This indicates the importance in favor of Google’s visible transparency if the network is usually enabled by default.
This email may not have the right date, but it seems like the launch is happening soon. Get ready to feel calm because you can find your lost devices with Android’s strong network.
