Google is rolling out a new feature that allows users to choose a more effective method of tracking their mobile devices on Android. The update, integrated with Play Services version 25.24, will enable users to configure Find Hub during the setup process. This change adds an option to track devices in all areas, not just busy ones.
Currently, Find Hub works only in areas with multiple phones contributing to location data. However, this limits its effectiveness. The new feature aims to improve device tracking and provide more accurate locations for owners. With this update, users can now find their devices remotely with better precision, making it a welcome change for many Android phone owners.
This improvement comes after Google’s previous Find My Device network faced criticism over harsh restrictions on location data sharing. The company has taken steps to address these concerns by introducing the new feature. While implementation details may vary across devices, users can expect improved device tracking capabilities with this update.
