Find Hub gets a new boost as Google makes it part of the Android setup proc

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Google is rolling out a new setup screen that encourages users to enable the more reliable tracking setting for its Find Hub network.
• This setting allows the network to use a single device’s location data to find lost items, improving reliability in low-traffic areas.
• The new screen simplifies the options and explicitly warns that the default setting may make it harder to locate items in remote places.

For most Android users, the best item tracking option is Google’s Find Hub, as it works on almost every Android device. There are even a variety of compatible Bluetooth trackers you can use to locate your items. Unfortunately, Find Hub can have trouble locating items in some areas due to its default configuration. Out of the box, the network requires multiple Android devices to detect an item before reporting its location, limiting reliability in low-traffic areas. While it looks unlikely that Google will reverse this decision soon, the company is starting to nudge users to enable the network’s more reliable tracking setting.
