"Google's Find My Device: New Features and Compatibility for Android Phones"

Google's Find My Device network has launched, and the first AirTag-style trackers for Android phones have been released by Chipolo and Pebblebee. These Bluetooth trackers work with Android's Find My Device app and can help locate lost valuables by emitting sounds and flashing LED lights. The trackers use Bluetooth proximity data from millions of Android devices to pinpoint the item's location on a map. Chipolo and Pebblebee offer various tracker options, and more devices, such as headphones and smart tags, will soon be supported by the network. Tile, a pioneer in smartphone-based trackers, currently does not have plans to make trackers for Google's Find My Device network.

"Expanding Android's Tracking Network with Bluetooth and Location Trackers"

Third-party Bluetooth trackers from companies like Chipolo and Pebblebee are now plugging into Android's 3 billion-strong tracking network, Find My Device. These trackers can work as worldwide GPS trackers and locate items much farther away, even though they don't have GPS. Both companies offer normal keychain tracker tags and slim credit card format trackers, which will show up in the Find My Device app. While both support the Google and Apple networks, separate versions of the same product have to be made for each network. Tile, which started the idea of crowdsourced Bluetooth tracker location, will eventually join Find My Device.
