Finally Google is going to release the functionality to use trackers on Android like Air Tags

 

 

 

https://blog.google/products/android/android-find-my-device/?__s=lfhm9msgdldavpb2g3ay&utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Update+on+your+Pebblebee+for+Android+pre-order

 

 

 

I bought Pebblebee trackers over a year ago ( :-( ) and have been waiting for them to ship and now they say the end of May.

 

What I find intriguing is being able to track phones for a while even when they powered off. That didn't seem to make sense until I read even if a phone is powered off the Bluetooth chip is still powered for a few hours. That applies to Pixel phones - not sure about other ones.

And look out for software updates coming to headphones from JBL, Sony and others, which will join the Find My Device network soon.

It's good when I want it I have no objection. Devices and apps that require location permission just to complete a first time setup really irritate me.

Anyone have ideas when the "Find My Device network" will be relased in NZ and we can use the tags here? I understand it is only available in US and Canada at the moment.
