Google confirms future improvements to its Find My Device network for more accurate tracking

While these improvements are ongoing, Google recommends users proactively optimize tracker performance by adjusting a specific setting. Go to the Find My Device section in Security & Privacy Settings and select “Find my devices offline.” Switching the setting to “Networked in all areas” may improve the network’s ability to locate lost items, especially in areas with less user traffic. Despite this adjustment to settings, it’s important to remember that the most significant improvements in location accuracy and speed are expected to only become noticeable once Google Network improvements are fully implemented in the coming weeks.

For those who haven’t yet invested in a tracker compatible with Google’s improved Find My Device network, the recently introduced Moto Tag provides an attractive alternative. This tracker has a built-in UWB (Ultra-Wideband) chip, a feature that enables precise location tracking while communicating with other UWB-enabled devices. It’s worth noting that this advanced technology isn’t currently available on other Bluetooth trackers like the Chipolo and Pebblebee models, even those that are similarly priced.

The combination of Google’s continued improvement of the network and the introduction of innovative trackers such as Moto Tag signals a promising future for the Find My Device ecosystem. Users can expect to soon have increasingly reliable and effective options for locating lost items.
