Android’s new Find My Device now releasing outside the US, Canada

Google appears to have started releasing Android’s new Find My Device outside the US and Canada. AndroidAuthority’s MishaalRahman spotted that Android’s new Find My Device feature starting to expand to more countries outside the US and Canada.

Consumers in Japan and the UK posted on X that their devices are getting the offline finding feature. Beyond Pixel, Google is also bringing it to other eligible Android devices such as the Moto Razr Plus. The initial rollout started last month, with expansion starting to take place now.

The new Find My Device network feature is useful for rediscovering lost devices including phones and accessories. Google also revealed that a user’s device location is encrypted using their screen lock and can only be seen by the owner.

Users will also have a few options for finding offline devices. In its settings, users will see “off,” “without network,” “high-traffic areas only,” and “network in all areas.” By default, the high-traffic area option is selected, which works in places like airports or “busy footpaths.”
