Google’s Find My Device network for offline tracking initially had a slow start, limited to the US and Canada, but has expanded internationally since May. The network experienced issues with reliability, but Google is actively working to improve speed and tracking capabilities. By changing Find My Device network settings to “Networked in all areas,” tracking in low traffic areas can be improved. Google plans to implement improvements over the next few weeks to enhance the network’s speed and ability to locate lost items. The network will become more reliable as more devices join, which may take a few weeks or months. Changing the network settings on Android phones to “With network in all areas” can help find tagged items even in low traffic areas. By default, the setting is “With network only in high traffic areas,” which relies on recent stored locations or data from multiple Android devices in busy areas to track lost items. Google’s efforts to improve the Find My Device network demonstrate a commitment to addressing its issues and improving reliability as the network grows in popularity.
