Ahh, yeah, I’d guess the ecosystem isn’t that large yet, as updates roll out to Android devices n such. I haven’t really tested mine in the real world yet. I’ve been meaning to.

One time I got a notification that someone was tracking me with a tracker. It was my own wallet that is registered to my account lol.

How do you mean not worth it? The pebblebees are working fine for me.

Yeah, it’s cool that Google has finally got their shit together with that. What’s fascinating is that Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications if an Air tag is following an Android or a Google FindMy tracker is following an iPhone.

It works like Tile and Apple’s FindMy network, mostly through Bluetooth I believe. Every single phone running android (and with the setting enabled) can ping the location of your trackable when nearby. It’s just like Tile, except with a network of every single Android device instead of just Tile users. If you’re unsure how Tile or Air tags work, then you might have bit more research to do that’s outside the scope of this comment.

I’m not sure what you mean by enable it, the first step would be to purchase a compatible trackable. Currently there are only two brands making them, unless others have started since I bought mine. Pebblebee seems to be the more popular ones, and that’s what I went with.

If you want to play around with the app, you can download it here, but there won’t be much to do in it until you have a trackable.

Heads up, Google now has a FindMy network like Apple’s that’ll update much more frequently than a Tile due to the sheer number of users. The downside, as compared to a tile, is that it’ll notify the thief that a tracker is following them.

Really wish people would stop adding support for EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc.

Uh, what?
