Technology · First reported 5 Nov, 21:30 · Updated 22:22
Google is rolling out a Find Hub setting that can notify Android users when they move away from a supported tracker. The feature is available in the US and parts of Europe, and reported examples include Moto Tag and Chipolo devices.
- Users can enable “Notify when left behind” separately for each tracker in the Find Hub app’s settings.
- Alerts are excepted at the Home address saved in the user’s Google Account; one report also describes exclusions for saved or familiar places.
- Reports describe the rollout as available in the US and some parts of Europe, with the setting appearing for Moto and Chipolo trackers.
- The 9to5Google report says the setting appeared with Find Hub version 3.1.787-06 and was not showing for other device types such as headphones.
- The reports compare Google’s addition with separation alerts previously offered by Apple and Samsung.
