One of the most salient features of an Apple AirTag is how it utilizes the roughly one billion iPhones out there — via the Find My network — to ping its location even when it’s not in Bluetooth range. Wouldn’t it be great if Google could somehow capitalize on the more than 3 billion Android devices around the world to help find your lost phone? Well, this might just happen.
The folks over at XDA Developers have found evidence regarding this in an APK teardown of Google Play Services version 21.24.13. The code has new strings that mention a “Find My Device network” and how it could allow your phone to help locate other people’s lost or stolen devices.
