Google confirms future improvements to the "Find My Device" network for more accurate tracking

While these improvements are in progress, Google recommends users proactively optimize their tracker's performance by adjusting a specific setting. Navigate to the Find My Device section within your Security & privacy settings and select the 'Find your offline devices' option. Switching the setting to 'With network in all areas' can help improve the network's ability to pinpoint lost items, particularly in areas with lower user traffic.

Despite this setting adjustment, it's important to note that the most significant improvements in location accuracy and speed are expected to become noticeable only after Google's broader network enhancements are fully implemented in the coming weeks.

For those who haven't yet invested in a tracker compatible with Google's enhanced Find My Device network, the recently announced Moto Tag presents an appealing alternative. This tracker boasts a built-in UWB (Ultra-Wideband) chip, a feature that enables precise location tracking when communicating with other UWB-enabled devices. Notably, this advanced technology is not currently available in other Bluetooth trackers like the Chipolo and Pebblebee models, even those with similar price points.

The combination of Google's ongoing network improvements and the introduction of innovative trackers like the Moto Tag signals a promising future for the Find My Device ecosystem. Users can anticipate soon having an increasingly reliable and efficient experience in locating their misplaced belongings.
