Google Starts Rolling Out Find My Device for Android as Competition to Apple's Find My

Quick Summary:

All but identical to Apple's Find My network, Google's offering not only makes it possible to track the location of Android handsets, but also includes support for third-party AirTag-style trackers.

Almost a year after it was first announced, Google is finally rolling out its offline Find My Device service for Android devices.

While the rollout appears to have started, for now it is only a beta; a full launch is imminent, however.
