Until now, Google allowed you to see the location of devices as long as they were turned on. The phones will have a battery reserve.
All mobile phones with Android 9 or higher will contribute information to this location network. Free service will arrive first in the United States and Canada, but Google has announced that it will be implemented on Android devices around the world, which also includes Argentina, to be part of this collaborative network. According to data from the person responsible for the software, there are more than one billion devices. The location system operates anonymously and is the same concept offered by Apple's Find My that is also used with AirTags, but with Android phones instead of iPhones. It is compatible with the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro and, in fact, it should already be active for users regardless of their Android version. It will be more than enough to generate information about any type of device that is lost. The information is end-to-end encrypted to protect consumer security. Among the options that come with this update is sharing devices with other people.
